The Norwegian plane that has been stranded in Iran since December last year has landed at Arlanda, writes Bloomberg News.
“It is a great relief,” said press contact Astrid Mannion-Gibson in a statement.
The Norwegian NAS -4% plane that was forced to make an emergency landing in Shiraz, Iran, on December 14 last year landed early Saturday morning at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, writes Bloomberg.
The emergency landing was due to an engine problem discovered during the flight between Dubai and Oslo. While the passengers were able to return home the following day, the affected plane remained in Iran.
Reimposed US sanctions prohibiting the export of aircraft parts to Iran meant that the affected plane was unable to leave the Iranian airport for over two months.
Norwegian has been actively working to find a solution to the problem through contact with the US Office of Foreign Assets Control, which monitors compliance with sanctions against countries. The process has been extended, in part due to Donald Trump's decision to shut down parts of the US government, writes Bloomberg.
”"It's a great relief," said press contact Astrid Mannion-Gibson in a statement after the plane landed on Nordic soil again.
