A British Airways flight from Paphos to London Heathrow was intercepted by the German Air Force on 17 October after losing radio contact with air traffic control, with Vienna ATC reporting the loss of communications and triggering a quick reaction alert. The German Air Force scrambled two Eurofighter Typhoons to intercept the aircraft, but communication was reestablished and the flight was guided to the German border before continuing safely to its destination.
