A passenger plane en route from Norway to Spain had to land after a rodent jumped out of one of the onboard dishes.

The Scandinavian Airlines flight – scheduled to fly from Oslo to Malaga on Wednesday – was diverted from its route after an animal frightened a woman as she opened her food provided by the airline.

Jarle Borrestad, a passenger on the plane who saw the rodent jump out of a nearby woman’s food bag, told the BBC that people on board the flight remained generally calm.

“Something like this is extremely rare,” Oystein Schmidt, spokesman for Scandinavian Airlines, told Agence France-Presse.
