STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier is “highly recommending” that Q-400 turboprop planes that have made at least 10,000 flights be grounded for inspection after two emergency landings in northern Europe, Scandinavian Airlines said Wednesday.

The announcement came after a Scandinavian Airlines turboprop with 48 passengers made an emergency landing Wednesday in Lithuania with a landing gear problem.

That incident came three days after another of the airline’s Q-400 planes crashed in Denmark when its landing gear collapsed during touchdown.
...

SAS immediately grounded its fleet of turboprops and canceled more than 100 flights Wednesday.
