KLM Boeing 737 skids off runway in Oslo after hydraulic failure
On the evening of December 28, a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 737-800 made an emergency landing at Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport (TRF) after experiencing hydraulic failure shortly after takeoff from Oslo-Gardermoen Airport (OSL).
The aircraft registered PH-BXM was conducting flight KL1204 to Amsterdam-Schiphol International Airport (AMS), carrying 176 passengers and six crew members. The crew reported a hydraulics issue shortly after departure at 7:05 p.m. local time, prompting a diversion to Torp Airport.
While landing on runway 18 at Torp, the plane veered off the right side of the runway, stopping on soft grass. Emergency crews responded swiftly, and all passengers were safely evacuated via boarding stairs. No injuries were reported among those on board.
