What happened

At 13:30 UTC on 6 November 2026, TWR, a TWR, began transmitting transponder code 7500, hijack / unlawful interference, near Brisbane (BNE) at 400 ft.

The code stayed up for about 0 minutes; we last saw it at 13:30 UTC, by which time the aircraft was at 1,100 ft. The map shows the path flown around the event, colored from live ADS-B positions.

A squawk code is set by the crew on the transponder. 7500 signals unlawful interference. It is rare, and it is sometimes set by mistake. Nothing here is confirmed by the operator or an investigating authority; it is what the aircraft broadcast.
