Passengers on a London flight to Germany ended up taking a 525-mile detour to Scotland due to an apparent mix-up with the flight plan.
The British Airways flight that took off Monday morning from London's City Airport was meant to land in Dusseldorf, but due to an incorrectly filed flight plan, the pilot and crew thought they were supposed to land in Edinburgh.
The plane eventually ended up taking off from Edinburgh to land in the correct destination.
"We have apologized to customers for this interruption to their journey and will be contacting them all individually," an British Airlines representative said.
