A story overblown to generate sensation and sell newspapers if you ask me .
Svolvaer Is on the Lofoten , one of the most difficult terrain/weather combination in northern Europe , I,ve been there a few times . Rotors produced by the terrain can do funny things to you . I believe a twin otter rolled on its back at Vaeroy ( next island) during an approach and that resulted in the airport being abandoned if my memory is correct ,
WF , just like other airlines operating in the Arctic may have higher incident rates than others but considering the environment they fly in , they are doing a pretty good job,
