NATO jets escort Israeli flight after radio loss over Hungary
An Arkia Airbus A321neo LR en route from Tel Aviv to Prague briefly lost radio contact while passing through Hungarian airspace. NATO activated its highest air-policing alert and scrambled two fighter jets to identify and escort the plane; the aircraft was located, visual contact established, and communications restored. The plane continued to Prague via Austria with no danger to passengers; the incident is under internal review and NATO/Hungarian authorities say standard procedures were followed.
