More Mickey Mouse news from the airlines
It’s not completely unusual for a passenger to cause an air delay or even a cancellation. But this time the mouse did it.
The plane was due to land in Chicago — an SAS flight from Stockholm to the US.
The rodent was spotted ahead of boarding on the 0815 GMT flight but evaded the many mousetraps laid to catch it, SAS said.
Company spokesman Anders Lindstroem said: "For safety reasons, you don't board when there's a mouse on board.”
"We hope to find it overnight," he said. A plane full load of passengers, 250 of them, have to take other flights.
Apart from disturbing passengers, a mouse on board a flight is a potential danger as it could creep in amongst cables, Lindstroem said, adding that a complete inspection would be carried out once the mouse was caught, according to AFP.
The spokesman said it was the first time a mouse had been discovered on an SAS plane.
