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.
