The pilot informed the chancellor and other passengers that a technical defect had caused the "malfunction of several electronic systems" on the Airbus A340-300.

According to multiple German media outlets, the aircraft experienced problems with its radio equipment, but the pilot said there had been no safety risks. German news magazine Der Spiegel reported the crew had to use an onboard satellite phone in order to plan the landing.
 
Aww, disappointed they didn't revert to lost comms IFR rules and light guns.
 
They are suspecting it to be sabotage...

EDIT: The German airforce just said there was no sabotage.
