  "summary": "A hijacking alert was inadvertently transmitted from a Corendon Airlines flight en route from Corfu to Nuremberg, Germany, causing several European countries to activate warnings and scramble fighter jets. The situation arose when the aircraft could no longer be reached by radio to clarify the alert, prompting a Rafale fighter jet to be dispatched from Croatia and the German military to send warplanes. Nuremberg airport briefly suspended operations and deployed police to the scene. However, after the German fighter jets escorted the plane to land, authorities inspected the aircraft and found no danger. The incident came in the early hours of Tuesday, with pilots also reporting suspected drone sightings at several German airports.",
