Scandinavian Commuter - SAS De Havilland DHC-8-402Q Dash 8.
SAS has cancelled all flights with DASH-400 aircrafts, the same type of aircraft that has been involved in two dramatic emergency landings.
Eleven planes are now being brought back from various European airports to the SAS base in Stockholm and Copenhagen, where they will be thoroughly examined.
The planes will stay on the ground until the Norwegian Air Traffic and Airport Management gives them a clear signal, but will not be flying anywhere for the next few days.
In order to decrease the number of cancellations SAS have rented aircrafts from other companies, but the cancellations may end up costing them more than 100 million Danish Kroners. “We take one day at the time,” said Lisbeth Reinwaldt in SAS.
