Passengers on a British Airways flight from London’s City Airport to Dusseldorf in Germany were left stunned when their plane landed and captain welcomed them all to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.

According to CNN, the travel error occurred as a result of an incorrectly filed flight plan, leading both the pilot and cabin crew to believe the flight was bound for Edinburgh.

The incorrect flight plan was said to have been filed at WDL Aviation’s offices in Germany. But after landing in Edinburgh, the captain subsequently apologized to the passengers, telling them the plane would refuel before heading to Germany.

In a statement, a spokesperson for British Airways said the airline was working with WDL Aviation “to establish why the incorrect flight plan was filed.”

“We have apologized to customers for this interruption to their journey and will be contacting them all individually,” the spokesperson said.

WDL Aviation said in a statement: “We are 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.”

Minister of Power, Housing and Works, Babatunde Raji Fashola, has described the situation of power supply in the country as an improvement to what the present administration met on ground.

Fashola expressed this view while speaking on Sunrise Daily on Channels TV on Wednesday.

Fashola asserted that in some parts of the country like Kebbi and Yobe, the power supply is constant.

Fashola, however, revealed that the power distribution companies in those areas reported their consumers as saying that they do not need 24/7 power supply due to the high billing.

Fashola assured Nigerians that the current situation of power supply in the country would improve significantly before President Buhari leaves office in 2023. Although, he pointed out that Nigeria has a long way to go before it achieves a constant power supply.

Also, he revealed that the Federal Government is already issuing licenses to companies to produce, and supply meters to electricity consumers in the country.

Also speaking on the ongoing dispute between the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and Distribution Companies (DISCOS) on whose responsibility it is to provide meters, Fashola pointed out that the sparring bodies know what to do.
