An Airbus A330-300 operated by SAS Scandinavian Airlines had to turn back halfway through its long-haul flight from Stockholm to Miami on Thursday. The reason was severe turbulence.
A video shared on social media shows the moment the plane hits extreme turbulence over Greenland. Passengers and objects are thrown into the air and screams can be heard.
The long-haul flight turned around after around 5 hours and 10 minutes and returned to northern Europe, landing in Copenhagen. The reason given by SAS for the decision was that it would not have been possible to inspect the aircraft in Miami.
One passenger told the Air Live portal that the experience on board was frightening. Some passengers had suffered panic attacks and someone had also injured their head.
