"Flight SK910, an Airbus A330-300, departed Newark Liberty International Airport at 5:47 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, bound for Denmark. But after three and a half hours in the air, the plane diverted northwest and landed safely at Goose Bay Airport in Labrador, Canada, at 9:15 p.m. local time (AST), according to FlightAware data. It is unclear what led to the unscheduled landing. SAS did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider."
"On Monday, SAS sent an unloaded Airbus A330, operating as flight SK9201, from Copenhagen to Goose Bay, seemingly to rescue the stranded passengers. It took off from Copenhagen at 10:55 a.m. local time on Monday, landing just after midday in Goose Bay, per Flightradar24 data. "A presumably very light SAS A330 has been scrambled to fly to Goose Bay to pick up stranded passengers," Flightradar24 posted on X."

The cause of the unscheduled landing is unclear, and SAS did not respond to requests for comment. Goose Bay, a town of about 8,000 with an air force base, frequently serves as a diversion site but has limited passenger facilities. SAS dispatched an unloaded A330 (flight SK9201) from Copenhagen, which arrived just after midday and departed for Copenhagen later that evening. Passengers were stranded there for about 22 hours and arrived 22 hours late.
