Dutch air traffic control followed protocol when radio contact was lost and triggered a security alert.
F16s were scrambled, intercepted the airliner, and escorted it into landing.
Upon landing at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport it was surrounded by Dutch security officers who boarded the plane and searched it.
At this time the passengers are still being held on board, though as the plane has been cleared it is unclear why.
The Vueling aircraft had been flying from Malaga, Spain to Amsterdam, with one hundred and eighty passengers aboard.
Earlier in the day the airport had dealt with a bomb scare.
