Kiev: At an Amsterdam Schiphol airport, an Air Europa pilot
accidentally activated a car theft alarm.
It is reported by "European truth" with reference
to NOS.
On board the plane, which was supposed to fly to Madrid,
there were 27 passengers when the pilot accidentally reported the hijacking.
This happened around 18.45.
Two hours later, confirmation was received that the
situation had returned to normal.
"False alarm. On the Amsterdam-Madrid flight this
evening, a warning was mistakenly activated that launches protocols at the
airport in case of hijacking. Nothing happened, all passengers are safe and are
waiting for departure. We apologize", - the airline said.

physical button in the cockpit, but a code that a crew member must enter.

undergone significant changes due to the incident. Many departures were delayed,
but not a single flight was canceled.
The plane to Madrid, the abduction of which was accidentally
reported by a pilot, flew from Amsterdam at 22.50.
