Five planes gave an alarm in different parts of the world

During the day, starting from October 15, in different regions of the world recorded five cases of alarm by aircraft.

Incidents affected a variety of aircraft: among them – passenger liner Volotea (Toulouse – Cane route), small-engine Grob G115E (flight between Britain and the village of Mineskip) and military reconnaissance aircraft Boeing Poseidon MRA1 Air Force, which gave a signal when approaching Scotland.

By 20:10, two more cases of activation of the emergency code Squawk 7700 were recorded. A United Airlines plane flying from Heathrow to New York was forced to abort the flight and return to London airport. A similar decision was made by the crew of the Bombardier Challenger 604, registered in San Marino: after the signal was given, the board also returned to the departure airport.

Details of the reasons for the signals have not yet been disclosed.
