SAS Flight SK957, an Airbus A330-343, diverted to Copenhagen, Denmark, after engine issues developed after encountering turbulence en route from Stockholm to Miami.
During cruise, the flight experienced turbulence while in Reykjavik’s airspace that caused the indication of ENG 1 Low Oil Pressure. The crew shut down the left engine as per the quick reference handbook and started a descent from FL360. The crew was able to restart the engine at around FL280 and proceeded to climb back to a cruise altitude of FL360. Once in Gander’s airspace, the crew declared an emergency and requested to turn back and diverted to Copenhagen Airport (EKCH), Denmark, without further incident.
