SAS's First India Flight in 17 Years Turns Back Mid-Air Due to Paperwork Issue
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) experienced a significant setback with its highly anticipated return to India. The inaugural flight from Copenhagen to Delhi, the first in 17 years, was forced to turn back while over Azerbaijan. The Airbus A321LR operating as flight SK995 had to make a U-turn just a few hours into its journey. The disruption was reportedly caused by a problem with overflight permits required by Pakistani authorities. The aircraft safely returned to Copenhagen, marking an embarrassing and costly start for the airline's major route relaunch.
