German police: wrong transponder code entry caused hijack alert over Croatia
Summary
German police reported that the pilot of a Corendon Airlines Boeing 737-800 mistakenly entered the hijack code 7500 instead of the radio-failure code 7600 due to a communications fault on a flight from Corfu to Nuremberg, triggering security procedures in Croatia, Austria and Germany. Croatia's defence ministry said a Croatian Rafale intercepted the aircraft over Korenica, two German Eurofighters escorted it into Nuremberg, and it landed safely with 178 people aboard and no injuries.
