A large contingent of authorities and officers were dispatched to the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam on Wednesday night because of an incident on an aircraft. "We are currently investigating a suspicious situation aboard an aircraft at Schiphol," said the Marechaussee, a branch of the Dutch military tasked with protecting airports and borders.

About 27 people boarding an aircraft when a pilot in the cockpit pressed a panic button on the control console, according to broadcaster NOS. Boarding was immediately halted, and the emergency response was initiated.

An arrest team was called to the scene, and the D concourse was partially evacuated, according to Nu.nl. Police and paramedics were dispatched to the scene as well as at least one trauma team by helicopter dispatched at 7:40 p.m.

The incident was taking place at gate D3, according to newspaper De Telegraaf, with other sites reporting the incident is connected to an Air Europa flight at gate D7. A rumor that a Dutch F-16 fighter jet took off to patrol airspace was refuted by the Defense Ministry, wrote Nu.nl
