A Corendon Boeing 737‑800 triggered a false kidnapping alarm after the crew entered the wrong transponder code, 7500 instead of 7600, following a radio failure on Tuesday over the Greek island of Korfu, police said.
Fighter jets and police special forces were deployed while the aircraft continued to Nürnberg, where it landed as scheduled, underwent a technical inspection and was cleared to resume service before passengers were allowed to disembark.
