A British Airways flight from London City Airport was supposed to head to Duesseldorf, Germany, but ended up in Scotland's capital of Edinburgh. The airline said Monday the problem started when an incorrect flight plan was filed by WDL Aviation, which operated the flight on behalf of British Airways. Officials say the pilot followed the flight plan for Edinburgh, and air traffic control officials also were following the same flight plan and saw nothing amiss. "We are working with WDL Aviation, who operated this flight on behalf of British Airways, to establish why the incorrect flight plan was filed," British Airways said in a statement. Ryanair, a competing budget airline, took to social media after the mixup to poke fun at British Airways.
