A Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) flight from Oslo to Málaga was forced to make an unscheduled stop in Copenhagen after a mouse scurried out of a passenger's meal.
The rodent sparked chaos on Wednesday's flight, prompting the crew to divert the aircraft. Airlines typically ban rodents on board due to the risk of electrical damage from chewing.
Passenger Jarle Borrestad shared the bizarre incident on Facebook, posting a photo of himself and fellow travellers looking surprisingly cheerful about their unexpected guest.
"Believe it or not. A lady next to me...opened her food and a mouse jumped out," Mr Borrestad wrote.
SAS spokesperson Oystein Schmidt confirmed the incident, adding that passengers were transferred to a new aircraft to continue their journey to Spain.
"This is something that happens extremely rarely," Mr Schmidt said.
“We have established procedures for such situations, which also include a review with our suppliers to ensure this does not happen again.”
Passengers panicked as cabin pressure suddenly dropped on a Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Portland.
One passenger described watching her husband cover his ears in pain while others tried to help a man on the other side of the aisle who had an uncontrollable bloody nose.
There were also reports of passengers bleeding from their mouths.
