BA skymap in geographical blunder
« on: April 09, 2007, 11:57:59 PM »
British Airways has been using maps placing the UK's third largest airport 40 miles out of position.

Passenger in-flight skymaps show Stansted Airport in Essex to the far side of the Thames Estuary, in the rural parish of Stansted, Kent.

The error, which affects the airline's entire 67-strong Airbus fleet, has not been replicated on pilots' navigation systems.
