The nightmare-fuelling incident, which took place on Wednesday, prompted an emergency landing, with the Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) flight from Oslo to Malaga having to stop in Copenhagen.

The spokesperson also mentioned that the rodent was removed from the aircraft and that the airline is taking steps to prevent such incidents from happening again. The incident has sparked debate among passengers and experts alike.
