英國航空一架班機在本月25日原定要飛往德國杜塞道夫（Duesseldorf），卻大搞烏龍，降落在蘇格蘭愛丁堡（Edinburgh），直到機長降落時才驚覺飛錯目的地，並用機上廣播逗趣的向乘客們道歉，沒想到沒有乘客因此大吵謾罵，反是一片笑聲。

綜合外媒報導，該班級原訂從倫敦飛往杜塞道夫，但飛機快降落時，機長卻廣播「歡迎來到愛丁堡」，讓機上乘客一片錯愕，還以為是機組人員開玩笑。事後機長查證確定飛錯，並再次廣播向乘客道歉，並逗趣的詢問「沒有人要去愛丁堡嗎？」兩次，之後呼籲乘客「別拍照、別攝影」讓原本錯愕的乘客，瞬間一片笑聲。
對此，英航解釋，該班機是和德國國際空運航空公司合作，因日前該班機原定飛行計畫，就是往返倫敦與愛丁堡的行程，不過在當日卻有所變動，加上機組人員前一晚就抵達倫敦機場，並沒有收到改飛訊息，以為仍沿襲舊行程，才導致該起烏龍事件。報導指出，目前英航已向乘客們道歉，至於詳細造成該起事件的主因，目前仍在調查中。

Airline fail as plane lands in wrong country
March 28, 2019
“Holy schmoly!” a baffled airline worker says over the loudspeaker when a plane departing London lands in the wrong country. The British Airways flight’s destination was supposed to be Düsseldorf, Germany, but instead passengers found themselves in Edinburgh, Scotland. Despite the request by one crew member — “Don’t make photos or videos” — people on board filmed the epic mistake.

BA flight lands in Edinburgh instead of Düsseldorf by mistake

A British Airways flight destined for Düsseldorf in Germany has landed in Edinburgh by mistake, after the flight paperwork was submitted incorrectly.
The passengers only realised the error when the plane landed and the "welcome to Edinburgh" announcement was made.
The plane, which started at London's City Airport, was then redirected and landed in Düsseldorf. WDL Aviation ran the BA flight through a leasing deal.
BA said it was working with WDL to find out why it filed the wrong flight plan.
"We have apologised to customers for this interruption to their journey and will be contacting them all individually," BA said in a statement.
On its final flight on Sunday, the plane flew to Edinburgh and back so it seems that someone at WDL mistakenly repeated the same flight plan for the next day, according to BA.
When the crew arrived at London City airport on Monday it is thought that they saw Edinburgh on the flight plan from the day before and followed the old flight route.
German firm WDL said it was "working closely with the authorities to investigate how the obviously unfortunate mix-up of flight schedules could occur".
"At no time has the safety of passengers been compromised. We flew the passengers on the flight with number BA3271 to Düsseldorf after the involuntary stopover in Edinburgh," it said.
BA declined to say how many passengers were affected by the mistake.
'The toilets were blocked'
Sophie Cooke, a 24-year-old management consultant, travels from London to Düsseldorf each week for work.
She said when the pilot first made the announcement that the plane was about to land in Edinburgh everyone assumed it was a joke. She asked the cabin crew if they were serious.
The pilot then asked passengers to raise their hands if they wanted to go to Düsseldorf.
Everyone raised their hands.
"The pilot said he had no idea how it had happened. He said it had never happened before and that the crew was trying to work out what we could do."
Sophie said the plane sat on the tarmac at Edinburgh for two-and-a-half hours, before flying onto Düsseldorf.
"It became very frustrating. The toilets were blocked and they ran out of snacks. It was also really stuffy," she said.
Analysis:
By Simon Browning, BBC transport producer
It is hugely unusual for passengers to board a flight and then arrive at the wrong destination - and it presents lots of uncomfortable questions about procedure and standards.
The flight was operated by a German aviation business on behalf of BA. Do they follow the same operational protocols that BA passengers would expect?
Why wasn't a passenger announcement made before take-off saying "the weather in Edinburgh is fine and the flight will last one hour". If it had, they could have saved a lot of complication.
For the passengers involved, will they get compensation for the delay? And ultimately - what does this do for trust in BA that such a mistake can be made?
Passengers complained about the error on Twitter, with one person called Son Tran saying it felt "like an honest mistake".
BA responded saying it did not "currently have any information" as to why the flight had gone to the wrong place.
The airline said its customer service team in Düsseldorf had met all the passengers on arrival and would follow up with them "in due course".

LONDON - Passengers aboard a British Airways flight from London to Dusseldorf on Monday (March 25) got a surprise when their plane landed in Edinburgh instead of the German city.
The passengers were unaware of the mix-up until the plane landed and the pilot welcomed them to Edinburgh, BBC reported.
The flight was being operated by German firm WDL through a leasing deal and the unwanted diversion appears to have been caused by an incorrect flight plan being filed.
It was unclear how many people were on board the plane. One passenger, management consultant Sophie Cook, 24, said that when the pilot made the announcement, everyone assumed it was a joke.
"The pilot said he had no idea how it had happened. He said it had never happened before and that the crew was trying to work out what we could do," said Ms Cook, who travels from London to Dusseldorf each week for work.
Subsequently, the plane sat for 2-1/2 hours on the tarmac in the Scottish airport.
"It became very frustrating. The toilets were blocked and they ran out of snacks. It was also really stuffy," said Ms Cook.

Some passengers took to Twitter to voice their frustration. "@British_Airways can you please explain how can my morning flight taking off from LCY to Dusseldorf land in Edinburgh. While an interesting concept, I don't think anyone on board has signed up for this mystery travel lottery," wrote user Son Tran.
In its reply, British Airways said it did not "currently have any information" as to why the flight had flown elsewhere.
Eventually, the flight did make it to Dusseldorf. Ms Cook said that when the pilot asked passengers to raise their hands if they wanted to go to Dusseldorf, everyone raised their hands.
In a statement, British Airways said: "We have apologised to customers for this interruption to their journey and will be contacting them all individually."
The airline said once the flight flew into Dusseldorf, its customer service team met all the passengers, and would also be following up with them "in due course".
It said that the pilot had not become lost at any point during the flight, but because the paperwork said the flight was to Edinburgh, that was the route the plane took.
It also said it was working with WDL to find out how the mix-up happened, BBC reported.
WDL said it was "working closely with the authorities to investigate how the obviously unfortunate mix-up of flight schedules could occur".
"At no time has the safety of passengers been compromised. We flew the passengers on the flight with number BA3271 to Dusseldorf after the involuntary stopover in Edinburgh," it said.

Ryanair tries trolling British Airways for landing at wrong destination, but Twitter isn't on board

Well, that kinda backfired, didn’t it?
Ryanair is taking some flak for attempting to troll British Airways over a Monday’s mistaken flight plan, which resulted in a British Airways flight ending up in Scotland rather than its intended destination of Germany.
DELTA, KOREAN AIR APOLOGIZE AFTER TEENS ARE BOOTED FROM FLIGHT, STRANDED IN SOUTH KOREA
Shortly after news of the British Airways blunder made headlines, Ryanair tweeted that it had a “present” for the airline, and included a photo of the “Geography for Dummies” reference book.
The tweet, however, appeared to have the opposite effect than what Ryanair likely intended, as commenters began chastising the low-cost carrier for poking fun of British Airways when it has its own alleged customer service shortcomings — and even made a similar mistake in 2006.

Others made reference to an incident from 2006, when a plane operated on behalf of Ryanair accidentally landed at the wrong airstrip in Northern Ireland.
As noted by the BBC, Ryanair had also been voted by travelers to be the “worst” short-haul airline in the U.K. for six straight years.
A representative for Ryanair was not immediately available to comment.

British Airways confirmed its 525-mile mistake on Monday, after one of its flights bound for Düsseldorf, Germany, ended up in Edinburgh, Scotland.
“We are working with WDL Aviation, who operated this flight on behalf of British Airways, to establish why the incorrect flight plan was filed,” the statement read. “We have apologized to customers for this interruption to their journey and will deal with them all individually.”
The flight was redirected to Düsseldorf two-and-a-half hours after the “involuntary stopover in Edinburgh,” turning the typical hour-and-ten minute flight into a nearly six-hour journey.
British Airways said the safety of the passengers was never “compromised.”
