A Scandinavian Airlines medical evacuation plane has arrived in Malaysia’s northern resort island of Langkawi, where the Norwegian king is being treated at a hospital for an infection. The royal palace in Oslo said this week King Harald V, Europe’s oldest monarch at 87, was hospitalized after he fell ill during a vacation but gave no details. His son, Crown Prince Haakon, has said his father’s condition was improving and that he needed rest before being brought back. Norwegian TV2 said a Scandinavian Airlines aircraft with the tail number LN-RPJ took off from Oslo Airport on Thursday. The plane, which has previously been converted into an advanced flying ambulance, arrived in Langkawi on Friday.
