German Eurofighters escort Corendon 737 to Nuremberg after cockpit hijack alert; airport briefly closes
Two German Air Force Eurofighters intercepted a Corendon Airlines Europe Boeing 737-800 from Corfu after it transmitted a hijacking alert, prompting a temporary suspension of operations at Nuremberg Airport. The aircraft landed safely; the airline attributed the alert to a radio communication system malfunction, and police later gave the all-clear.
