The airport in Nuremberg in southern Germany suspended take-off and landing due to a passenger plane issuing a hijacking warning on the 13th. Police dispatched special forces to block the airport for a while. The airliner involved finally landed safely. At noon on the same day, a passenger plane flying from Corfu in Greece to Nuremberg issued the code “7500,” which indicates that the plane has been hijacked. At one point, the pilot was unable to get in touch with the ground via radio. The airliner in question belongs to Turkey's Corendon Airlines, and the flight number is XR456. A spokesman for the Nuremberg police said that the radio equipment failure may be one of the reasons for this incident. The on-site inspection revealed no danger, and the passengers and pilot on board were all safe and sound. Investigators have yet to release further details. A spokesperson at Nurnberg Airport said that after the incident, fighter jets were dispatched to deal with it and have now returned to the base.
