An Aegean Airlines flight from Thessaloniki to Frankfurt reached its destination after sending emergency code 7700 and diverting to Munich on October 13, German public broadcaster Hessenschau reported.

Flight A3532, operated by an Airbus A320, landed in Munich at 7:13 p.m. local time. Its scheduled arrival in Frankfurt had been 7:25 p.m. The aircraft later resumed its journey and arrived in Frankfurt shortly before 9 p.m.
