Investigation of aviation incident at Sandefjord Airport Torp
During take-off from Gardermoen with KLM route 1204, a Boeing 737-800 with registration PH-BXM on 28 December 2024, a main wheel de-laminated and damaged the aircraft. Poor visibility at Gardermoen meant that the aircraft performed an emergency landing at Torp. The aircraft became unstable towards the end of the landing rollout and skidded off the runway.
During take-off from Oslo Gardermoen, the aircraft experienced a sudden delamination on one of the four main wheels. Parts from the wheel came loose and damaged the aircraft's hydraulic system. The pilots then chose to perform a planned emergency landing. Due to fog and low visibility at Gardermoen, Sandefjord Airport Torp was chosen. As a normal part of an emergency landing, the aircraft was met by fire and rescue. After a normal approach and landing, the aircraft lost directional stability towards the end of the roll-out and skidded off to the right of a runway exit. As there was no immediate danger to life and health, the passengers were kept on board until stairs for disembarkation were in place.
The Norwegian Safety Investigation Authority has seized the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder as a normal routine. The aircraft has been inspected and released to the airline.
