In a major scare, a Jet Airways aircraft from Mumbai to London with 330 passengers on board was intercepted en route by 2 German fighter jets near Cologne after the airline pilots failed to respond to all the calls made by the local air traffic control to establish contact. The incident, which involved flight 9W-118, occurred last Thursday when the Jet Boeing 777-300 aircraft was cruising at 36,000 feet. Radio contact was lost when the Jet aircraft was about to enter the Czech Republic from Slovakia. The aircraft didn't deviate from its flight path, but since the pilots didn't respond to the air traffic controller, the fighter jets were despatched to intercept the Jet aircraft. Soon after the fighter jets were airborne, the Jet Airways pilots established contact with the air traffic control on an emergency distress frequency. <br/>
