“Believe it or not, a lady next to me here at SAS opened the food and a mouse jumped out. Now we've turned around and landed in CPH. [Copenhagen Airport] due to flight changes,” the passenger wrote. Borrestad also told BBC News that the situation was not too dramatic and people were “not stressed at all.”

SAS spokesman Oystein Schmidt, meanwhile, explained that the airline has strict rules regarding rodents on board because of the risk of them biting through electrical cables. “This happens extremely rarely,” said Schmidt. “We have established procedures for such situations, which also include checking with our suppliers to ensure that something like this does not happen again.”
