On December 28, 2024, a KLM plane, flying as flight KL1204, made an emergency landing at Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport. The aircraft initially departed from Oslo Airport but diverted to Torp Sandefjord due to unexpected circumstances. As the plane landed on runway 18, it lost control during the roll and skidded onto grassy terrain beside the taxiway. Fortunately, all 182 people on board, including passengers and crew, remained unharmed.

The Boeing aircraft is under inspection to determine the cause of the incident. Authorities focus on both the diversion and the plane’s loss of control during landing. Initial reports suggest that technical or operational factors may have contributed to the runway excursion. While no injuries occurred, the investigation aims to prevent future events like this.

Recent similar incidents occurred in aviation. A CargoJet flight at Vancouver International Airport exceeded the runway limits and got stuck in muddy terrain. Similarly, a Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A321neo overshot the runway in July due to brake issues, but no injuries resulted in either case. These events highlight the importance of safety checks and protocols in aviation.

As investigations continue, authorities aim to uncover the causes behind the KLM incident. KLM pledges full cooperation with the inquiry while ensuring the well-being of the affected passengers. The airline remains committed to maintaining the highest safety standards.
