No hijack no nothing. Plane had a unusual route to enter the Dutch airspace. No radiocontact. 2 x F16s were scrambled. Plane flew a couple of circles around 80 km soutwest of airport. Landed normally.
Parked at remote spot. Pax had no idea something was wrong.

The reason it did not went to the gate could be because today a WW II bomb was found near the C gate at Schiphol airport.

Lots of miscommunication between pilot and ATC caused this incident.
