Blue Air Boeing 737-700 intercepted after communication failure (above Belgium)

Share

Published in our forums this week: Unconfirmed information for the moment, says the flight BMS 8T operated by aircraft registered as YR-BMA (Blue Air) was allegedly intercepted by two military aircraft of Belgium after failing to answer to radio communication for 30 minutes, while entering the air space of Belgium.

Because of that it got a TCAS RA Climb on 400 m, close to the limit of 400m. Allegedly the frequency for emergencies, 121,5 wasn’t monitored by the crew. Could anyone with connections find out more about this incident ?
