On Saturday, an SAS flight traveling from Stockholm to Malaga took an unexpected turn when a passenger reported sighting a mouse in the aircraft. The captain announced the need to return to Stockholm's Arlanda airport due to this unusual situation, as confirmed by reports from Jyllands-Posten and Aftonbladet. This incident highlights the importance that airlines place on passenger safety and comfort, even when faced with unusual inconveniences.

Interestingly, most passengers on board were supporters of the AIK football team, who were traveling to Marbella to attend a practice match. The alignment of the incident with the team's nickname, 'Gnaget', which translates to 'the gnawer', often associated with rodents, provided a humorous twist to an otherwise potentially alarming situation. Many fans indicated they intended to make the most of the delay by visiting a pub for some drinks while waiting for a solution.

SAS has confirmed the incident to Aftonbladet, affirming their commitment to safety, as they turned the aircraft back in light of the mouse sighting. While such occurrences are rare, they underscore the complexities and unexpected challenges airlines must navigate in ensuring passenger safety and the smooth operation of flights, making this situation a curious footnote in the travel experience of those onboard.
