Answer: two Italian Eurofighters were scrambled from Gioia del Colle, South of Italy very early morning. Aircraft intercepted just when entering Italian airspace from Africa, just below Sicily. Pilot was calmly collaborating with Italian Air Force and Italian fighters were following from behind not to alert passengers. Italian Eurofighters never moved to the side of aircraft. No risks according to Italian Air Force as pilot immediately explained his intention to land in Geneva so fighters only followed as precaution to make sure he would not divert or change his plans. Fighters were both fully armed but Italian Air Force confirmed pilot was very calm and fully collaborative: he clearly and calmly explained his intention to seek asylum in GVA and nothing else.
