( CNN ) -- The Royal Dutch Air Force scrambled fighter jets on Monday to intercept a cargo plane that entered Dutch airspace without proper clearance as world leaders gathered in the Netherlands for a nuclear security summit . The LAN Cargo Boeing 777 bound for Amsterdam from Miami `` was diverted away '' from Dutch airspace due to restrictions around the summit in The Hague , Edmund Messchaert , spokesman for the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice , told CNN . Messchaert said Dutch F16 fighters followed protocol and escorted the plane to Germany without incident . He said LAN Cargo apparently forgot to apply for permission to land or did n't know airspace restrictions were in place for the summit . A statement from the hauler , based in Chile , confirmed Flight UC 1503 was n't able to land in Amsterdam and was diverted to Frankfurt `` because of an error in the special classification of the flight . '' The plane was later permitted to continue to Amsterdam , the airline said .
