'Hijacked plane' lands in Amsterdam, Dutch F-16s scrambled
The Dutch defence ministry suspects a hijacker is on board a plane which has landed at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, according to a spokesman.
The plane was immediately surrounded by security forces. Police suspect the aircraft, with 183 people onboard, was hijacked.
According to Dutch media, the plane was flying into the Netherlands from Malaga, in Spain.
However, a spokesperson from Spain's Vueling airline says the hijack report was due to miscommunication between the pilot and control tower at Schiphol.
Earlier, the defence ministry reportedly sent two F-16 fighters to the plane, which was believed to have hostages on board.
