On June 30, 2026, a hijack alert was triggered on an Electra Airways flight from Warsaw to Tel Aviv after the pilot accidentally activated the emergency signal from the cockpit. The flight, which was carrying approximately 180 passengers, was flying over Cyprus when the alert was issued. After the pilot realized the mistake, he communicated with authorities, seeking permission to land in Cyprus, but this request was denied.

As a precaution, Israeli military aircraft were dispatched to intercept the passenger plane following the reported hijack alert. The situation prompted heightened concern from both Israeli and Cypriot authorities, leading to a temporary diversion of the flight's route. Ultimately, the aircraft continued its journey and was redirected to Sofia, Bulgaria, where it landed safely. The incident resulted in no injuries among passengers and crew.
