Passengers on an Eirjet Liverpool to Derry flight were left stunned when, on arriving at their supposed destination, the pilot announced: “Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived at the wrong airport.” The very wrong airport in fact, as it turned out to be an army airbase in isolated Ballykelly. There was an official apology by Eirjet, who confirmed nobody was hurt. But even so, one passenger was dejected that “they didn’t even let us go down the slide.”
