What could a fighter jet do if a plane goes rogue in a terrorism situation. Surely they can’t push the plane in a certain direction to prevent them causing harm the plane is too big and that’s a recipe for disaster all round. Shooting the plane down has its own complications especially if flying over populated area.
What could they actually do in a code red situation?

The “complications” are just an accepted part of the gambit here. Either you bring down that plane by force on your own terms knowing more or less what will happen if you do, or you do nothing and leave that plane free to do who knows what else.
You also have to set an example for other future rogue planes. If you do nothing because you’re too afraid of the collateral damage you’ll cause, that just teaches future would-be hijackers that the jets following them aren’t a threat. Demands without teeth aren’t demands, they are suggestions.
