Saturday's crash could have had ended worse...  STOCKHOLM (BBC News) - A decision to permanently ground 27 planes over safety fears will cost SAS up to 400m crowns ($62m; Â£30m), the Scandinavian airline said today. The airline faces cancelling hundreds of flights after it decided to stop flying Bombardier Q400 turboprop planes due to landing gear problems, despite assurances from the manufacturer that the aircraft is safe.  The decision came after the airline's third incident Saturday involving its fleet of Canadian-made Bombardier in two months. A Scandinavian Airlines turboprop carrying 44 people from Bergen, Norway, to Copenhagen, made a crash-landing in Denmark on Saturday, sliding down the runway on its belly after part of its landing gear collapsed. No one was seriously injured. SAS cancelled more than 40 flights on Sunday and 60 flights on Monday.  The airline operates 27 of the Q400s, which are used on many Nordic regional routes and for connections to destinations including the UK, Germany, Poland and Luxembourg. Meanwhile, Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier recommended that airlines continue to fly its Q400 aircraft, despite another failure of the plane's landing gear causing an accident at Copenhagen airport.
