A SAS Scandinavian Airlines Airbus A320-200N, registration LN-RGO performing flight SK-4499 from Longyearbyen to Oslo (Norway), was climbing through FL180 out of Svalbard Airport when the crew stopped the climb after the cabin temperature had become too hot, the air conditioning was shut down, as result the cabin temperatures now became freezing. The crew returned the aircraft to Svalbard for a safe landing on runway 10 about 30 minutes after departure.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 9 hours, then departed again and reached Oslo with a delay of about 9:15 hours.

The airline reported the cabin had started to heat up, the air conditioning system was shut down, therefore it now became very cold in the cabin. The crew returned the aircraft to Longyearbyen.
