A British Airways flight bound for Germany ended up in Scotland because of a paperwork mix-up, the airline confirmed to Fox News. The 525-mile mistake happened Monday, after an incorrect flight plan was filed, changing the flight path of the London, England flight from Düsseldorf, Germany – where it was originally scheduled to land – to Edinburgh, Scotland. Passenger Sophie Cooke told the BBC that those on the flight thought the pilot was joking, until flight crew confirmed that they were in 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. British Airways said the safety of the passengers was never “compromised.”
