The hijacked plane first asked for permission to land in Cyprus, was denied.

A Polish Airlines flight operated by LOT, en route from Warsaw to Tel Aviv, made an emergency landing at Burgas Airport due to a false 'seizure' signal transmitted by its transponder. The aircraft had initially requested permission to land at Cyprus’ Paphos Airport but was denied due to heavy traffic. The false signal was caused by a technical malfunction in the transponder, which incorrectly sent a code indicating unauthorized interference. Bulgarian and Israeli air forces were involved in escorting the plane, with Israeli fighter jets ordering the pilot to divert and avoid landing in Tel Aviv. The incident was later confirmed as a human error, and the plane eventually landed safely in Bulgaria.

Why these scores (Factual 50 · Objective 60): The article discusses a different event entirely — an airplane incident involving a false hijacking alert — while the primary source document concerns electric vehicle battery range discrepancies.
