A flight from Greece to Germany lands safely in Nuremberg after a cockpit hijack alert prompts the German air force to scramble two fighter jets. Multiple outlets report the alert is later attributed to a malfunction in the aircraft’s radio communications rather than any real emergency.
Corendon Airlines says the false alarm resulted from a problem with its radio communication system. The airline states that no emergency situation occurs and that passengers, crew, and the aircraft are never in danger. One report also notes that Nuremberg Airport is temporarily affected, with operational disruption following the alert, before normal conditions return.
While outlets focus on the rapid response by German fighters, they converge on the same core points: the aircraft is Malta-registered, the hijack alert is unverified, and the incident ends without harm once investigators and the airline confirm the technical cause.
