وأثار إنذار أمني غير عادي توترا في مطار نورمبرغ في ألمانيا يوم الثلاثاء، 13 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر، بعد أن بثت طائرة ركاب من اليونان إشارة استخدمت في حالات اختطاف الطائرات.
وفقاً للصحيفة الألمانية BILD، السلطات أوقفت مؤقتاً العمليات في المطار، بينما طائرة الطيران التابعة للقوات الجوية الألمانية ارتفعت لترافق الطائرة إلى المدرج.
The company Corendon Airlines flight number XR456 was travelling from the Greek island of Corfu to Nuremberg.
According to agency NEWS5 and the Nordbaern newspaper of pilots had transmitted code 7500, which is used in the international aviation to signal the hijacking of a plane or illegal intervention in flight.
It is reported that radio communication with pilots had ended over a period of time, prompting the immediate reaction of German authorities.
The plane landed safely around 12:16, while numerous police units, firefighters and members of the SEC Special Forces were deployed at the airport.
وكان الركاب محتجزين مؤقتا داخل الطائرة إلى أن تنجز السلطات عمليات التفتيش الأمنية.
At 1: 20 p.m., Bavaria police announced that the raids had not revealed any threats and that the situation was under control.
According to the Associated Press, the incident caused delays in six flights, while two aircraft approaching Nuremberg were diverted to other airports.
The code of kidnapping has not yet been explained. وتستعرض السلطات الظروف، في حين تفيد وسائط الإعلام الألمانية بأن هذه الإشارات قد تنشط عن طريق الخطأ.
The event took place just hours after three pilots had reported the presence of a suspected facility as fears in airspace near the airport.
The police also used a helicopter to search the facility but failed to location it.
ولم تؤكد السلطات أي صلة بين الحادثين.
