An El Al Boeing 737-800, registration 4X-EKF performing flight
LY-347 from Tel Aviv (Israel) to Zurich (Switzerland), was on approach to Zurich about to intercept the localizer for runway 14 when the crew suddenly was unable to communicate with ATC on all three radios, set the transponder to loss of communication and continued for a safe landing on runway 14 about 10 minutes later. The aircraft vacated the runway and subsequently taxied to the apron behind a "Follow Me" car.
The aircraft was able to depart for the return flight after about 100 minutes on the ground and reached Tel Aviv without further incident. The aircraft subsequently remained on the ground in Tel Aviv for about 45 hours before returning to service.
