A Greece-to-Germany passenger flight triggered a hijack alert when the pilot sent an emergency code and lost radio contact, prompting the German air force to scramble two fighter jets. The Boeing 737-800 landed safely at Nuremberg Airport. Corendon Airlines later said the alert was due to a communication system malfunction and no danger occurred. Airport operations briefly paused but resumed normally.
