Q400 Crash at Vilnius

Scandinavian Airlines regrets to confirm that one of its aircraft, a Dash 8-400 (Q400) with flight number SK2748 from Copenhagen to Palanga was involved in an accident at Vilnius Airport, at 01:48 hrs local time today.

Although no further details of the accident are available at the moment we can confirm that there are 48 passengers and 4 crew onboard. All passengers where evacuated after landing and no injuries are reported.

A team of specially-trained SAS personnel is currently on its way to Vilnius to assist all passengers and crew.

Scandinavian Airlines and Widerĝe have decided to ground the entire fleet of Dash 8-400 aircraft until further notice.
