Germany dispatched fighter aircraft to intercept the aircraft as it entered German Airspace near Nuremberg (Germany), communication with the crew was then restored. The crew never set the transponder code for loss of communication. The aircraft continued to Dusseldorf for a safe landing.

The aircraft departed Dusseldorf for the return flight about 45 minutes after landing.
