BA flight mistakenly lands in Edinburgh instead of Düsseldorf
A British Airways flight bound for Düsseldorf mistakenly landed in Edinburgh Monday after the operator, WDL Aviation, mixed up the flight plans. The BA CityFlyer flight from London City airport landed in Edinburgh before the pilots realised the error, which stemmed from an incorrect flight plan being filed at WDL’s offices in Germany. The flight, which was being operated under a wet lease arrangement by the Cologne-based airline, was subsequently redirected to Düsseldorf. BA said it was working with WDL “to establish why the incorrect flight plan was filed”. WDL noted there had been an “involuntary stopover” in Edinburgh and said it was working closely with the relevant authorities to investigate how the “obviously unfortunate mix-up of flight schedules” had come about. <br/>
