Since Fightradar24 started to show alerts, there has been 2 false hijack alerts. We don't know the reason behind the alerts, if it has been a technical error with the transponder, pilot error or some other error. To prevent future misunderstandings we will not send out any more 7500 (hijack) alerts. For all other alerts we want to once again clarify that it's a 4-digit code from a transponder. We never know the reason behind the alert. We don't know if it's true, false, error or something else. For more information about Squawk codes please read on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transponder_(aviation)
Twitter 7500 alerts was already removed last week, and alerts will be removed from iOS app in next update.
