The Netherlands scrambled two F16 fighter jets Wednesday to escort a Spanish passenger plane to Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport after air traffic controllers could not make contact with the aircraft’s crew.

Dutch media initially reported a possible hijacking, but local police and Vueling, the Spanish airline company whose jet was at the centre of the scare, later confirmed there was never a hijacking or a hostage situation. The Swiss public news program Tagesschau want to know all details and the latest news.
