Scandinavian carrier SAS’s much-anticipated return to India after a 17-year hiatus hit an unexpected hurdle on Wednesday after its inaugural Copenhagen-Mumbai flight was forced to return to Denmark mid-journey due to a pending regulatory approval, according to Manju V's TOI report.
Flight SK969 departed Copenhagen on Tuesday evening, around four hours behind its scheduled departure, according to flight-tracking platform Flightradar24. The Airbus A330 had been airborne for nearly four hours and was over Azerbaijan when it turned back and headed to Copenhagen.
