A TAP Air Portugal Airbus A320-200, registration CS-TMW performing flight TP-504 from Lisbon (Portugal) to Copenhagen (Denmark) with 147 passengers and 7 crew, was enroute at FL360, when the airplane passed west of Paris and via Lille (France) into Belgium, but did not establish radio contact with Belgium's Air Traffic Control for a considerable time. The airplane continued north passing west of Brussels (Belgium). ATC attempted to raise the crew via emergency frequencies and TAP dispatch, but radio contact could not be re-established. The airplane continued into Netherlands and passed overhead Amsterdam (Netherlands). Two German fighters were dispatched and intercepted the airplane at the Dutch/German border near Eemshaven (Netherlands). The TAP crew was subsequently able to restore radio contact already overhead the North Sea. The radio contact was lost for approximately 35 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of about 250nm. The airplane continued to Copenhagen for a safe landing.
TAP Air Portugal reported, that the loss of communication was caused by a malfunction in the communication system.
Da notare che, in virtù di recenti accordi presi un po' dovunque tra i vari Paesi europei (anche l'Italia ne ha di simili con i suoi confinanti), in caso di minaccia (o presunta tale) i caccia di un Paese possono sconfinare nel Paese vicino per evitare di lasciare "incustodito" l'aereo sospetto.
