Question A300 emergency landing in Stockholm?

Did a Fedex or UPS A300 make an emergency landing in Stockholm on Saturday evening? About 5:30PM local time the crew of a cargo A300 experienced some stabilizer problems. They dumped fuel, returned to Stockholm and landed at Arlanda airport – 3 crew members but the article didn’t specify which airline, maybe a European airline?


If you want to practice your Swenglish here's the article:

Nödlandning på Arlanda

Ett fraktflygplan av modellen Airbus 300 nödlandade en kort stund efter starten från Arlanda flygplats på lördagseftermiddagen.

Fel i stabilisatorn låg bakom problemen, enligt flygräddningsledare Bengt-Olof Hammarlöf.

Tre personer fanns med i besättningen, men det fanns minuterna efter landningen inga uppgifter om personskador.

Drygt 20 minuter före den så kallade högfartslandningen, som ägde rum klockan 17.29, dumpades en stor del av flygplanets bränsle.

– Det är ytterst sällan förekommande. Det är i princip bara de riktigt stora maskinerna som kan dumpa bränsle, säger Hammarlöf.

Trots den ovanligt höga farten vid landningen kunde planet stannas upp inom givna gränser på landningsbanan, enligt Hammarlöf.

Could be an EAT a/c. 3 person crew would be an A300B4, would it not?

yep, they deactivated all of the fuel dump systems when the price of oil surpassed $100/barrel.

Jettison Fuel.

The only dumping in the plane is a code red in the Lav, after General Ping Pang's chicken.

Sorry, but it had to be said,
