Widerøe’s route 844 from Bodø to Tromsø via Stokmarknes had to return to Bodø on Friday morning due to a technical fault. This is confirmed by communications adviser in Widerøe, Satha Sritharan, to news. – Our pilots chose to turn off one engine before landing in Bodø, and landed safely there in good conditions. Normal procedure in such cases for both us and Avinor is to ask for extra help on the ground as a precautionary principle, he writes in an e-mail to news. He further states that there was no need for assistance, and that everything went smoothly and well for him. – Our pilots regularly practice landing with one engine in the simulator, and experienced this as completely unproblematic, he writes further. The plane took off from Bodø at around eight thirty on Friday morning, and was supposed to have landed in Tromsø just after nine o’clock. The passengers on the flight have been rebooked for later departures. The company apologizes for the delays this causes for the passengers.
