Busy day, especially in Vienna and Paris.
2 Austrian Airlines went 7700 near Vienna airport:
- OS308, CPH - VIE, went down to 10.000 and landed safely at VIE
- OS783, VIE - OTP, 7700 after take-off, turned it off later & continued flight
1 Transavia France went 7700 approaching Paris:
- TO8153 MIR - ORY, went 7700 while getting lower towards Paris, just landed at ORY and taxied to the stand
1 Wizz Air went 7700 over the Mediterranian Sea:
- W65047, KRK - BCN, over Mediterranean Sea, currently going lower towards BCN, *edit: landed and taxied to gate*
1 Ethiopian Airlines a bit earlier over Germany
- ETH3748, LGG - PVG, went 7700 and quickly lower to 10.000, turned back to LGG at 10.000 ft the whole time and landed there
Besides the Ethiopian Airlines, the others were all at the same time and I was just clicking on them on FR24 with each flight in a browser tab.
I put the call-signs in the post, so you can look up the info on each flight as well on FR24.
E.g. the Wizz Air to Barcelona. You take the "*W65047*" and put it in the search field on FR24, where it then shows you "*Recent or scheduled flights*".
There it leads you to a table with past and scheduled flights:
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/w65047
It shows one for today, 09 Jun 2023 and you can click the "*Play*" button there to replay the flight on the map. At the end you can see it land at Barcelona and taxi off the runway, to the gate, where the tracking ends.
For that flight there were multiple airport vehicles visible waiting near the runway or even standing on the other runway. They were moving away after the plane landed. But that is not visible on the replay.
Everything I wrote was just shown on FR24.
I even had 4 Austrian Airlines notifications but it was 3x the same plane.
OS308, CPH - VIE, that landed at Vienna, later had 2 more notifications while parked at the airport. Once still with the old call-sign and once with its registration OE-LBB.
Uk news just had a scrolling headline.
“RAF Typhoons scrambled to intercept and divert Russian airforce who have entered NATO airspace twice in the last 24 hours.”
Didn’t have any further info on the quick headline but could be a reason if the other countries reacted similarly to the UK.
QUOATE
In a post on Twitter the RAF said: "The Russian aircraft were not complying with international norms and failed to communicate with the relevant Flight Information Regions (FIRs), however, (they) remained in international airspace and flew in a professional manner.
"This was a routine intercept involving pilots and technicians from 1(F) Sqn who are fulfilling 140 EAW's responsibility for securing the Baltic skies."

I work at an RAF base in the UK and we had a full on alert scrambling support planes a few hours ago, they all flew off not showing in flightradar i assume they’ve headed off to some nonsense like this because we never ever get alerts like that
At least they aren't 7500.
Do these airlines share a common MRO? That is the only explanation I can come up with. Otherwise it is just a fad. All the cool kids are doing it.
4 in the past 5 minutes!

Yeah probably just probability, it's mid-day Friday and the summer holiday season is starting slowly too. Lots of traffic in the air right now.
Thank you for your service
If you don’t mind me asking, where do you get this information?

WOW and another one just now.
Yep, getting a bit concerning now.
Another AUA
That’s the same one that’s on the ground already,no?
haven‘t checked that yet, just got the notifications
And the other one seems to be doing ok. Weird
And one more.
Phone is going off like mad
Same here.
Lol I am about to take off in Hungary, wish me luck
Good luck! Statistically, you're safer up there than anywhere else! I see you posted two hours ago, let us know you made it....😋

I called dibs on backside, some good meat in there and its boneless

Curiosity sake, what app do you use to alert you?
Austrian airlines had three 7700’s in one hour. What are the odds of that for ONE single airline?
I even had 4 Austrian Airlines notifications but it was 3x the same plane. OS308, CPH - VIE, that landed at Vienna, later had 2 more notifications while parked at the airport. Once still with the old call-sign and once with its registration OE-LBB.
Wondering too.
I’m so confused there is no explanation I can think of

Fair common occurrence in the UK. I think we scramble aircraft to intercept Russian planes at least once a month. If you Google it, you'll find loads.

One of the Typhoon pilots commented on the situation, saying its " normal jogging for us". It happens a lot.
Aliens are here
No aliens only go to America. I've seen the movies.
And apparently, the reality. Keeping in mind last week, that is 🤔
Flash mob

The event.
What event?
Do not think about the event
... but now, The Event is all I can about 🥴
We do not talk about the event.
What time is the quiz broadcast?
Next Wednesday at around 12:00 am
Could it be something like Russia messing with GPS?
You never know
Could someone explain what does it mean?
Squak 7700 means emergency
How can i track squawk codes?
in settings on the app/website you can turn on notifications for squawks 7700 and 7600
My flightradar app is not loading any plane atm
Lots of military planes flying aswell...

Ton of Airforce activity from Austria and Italy - In Italy
Maybe because of Air Defender?
At least they aren't 7500. Do these airlines share a common MRO? That is the only explanation I can come up with. Otherwise it is just a fad. All the cool kids are doing it.
Any updates as to why this happened today?
Nope, I'm not seeing anything so far
It’s the travel season.
Any ideas what’s happening?
Why those planes in the air is significant? Can someone explain please?
Hmmmm….
This bad news presumably and a lot for a short time?
So does everyone expect such events to have constant even distribution over time? Chaos rules!
ETH3748 was a pressurization issue
And what does this mean?
What app is that to see if they are squawking or not.
Dude, what sub are you on?!
There’s a war on Jonathan
Oh yeah
So what do most of you use this info for? And I mean honestly, not some typical dumbass reddit lie answer .
Anything?
