Arik Air B738 Intercepted
Anyone know anything about an Arik Air Boeing 737/800 enroute from Abuja to London Heathrow being intercepted somewhere over France by French Air Force fighter jets after ATC lost contact with the pilots for over 30 minutes? This must have happened a couple of weeks ago. Reportedly, it's being hushed up, but information has filtered out. And a huge fine has been levied on Arik Air by the French government for the cost of scrambling the jets.
Any truth to all this?
Would appreciate any info.
