British Airways flight path raises eyebrows after Prestwick take-off

A FLIGHT from Ayrshire's Prestwick Airport was raising eyebrows yesterday.

It was British Airways aircraft BAW1 which confused reader Charles MacLean, a reader of the Ayr Advertiser - who questioned the pilot's intentions when he viewed their flight path.

As the BA plane took to the air, they spent over an hour in skies to produce the "unique" flight path.

Sharing a screengrab of the map, MacLean asked: "What is Aircraft BAW1 planning to draw?"

While The Jouker won't be answering that question - we are glad the pilot opted not to circle around Annbank and Coylton on their way back to Prestwick.

The ironically named flight appears to have been a routine training/testing excercise from the airport, which the plane took off from shoortly before 3.30pm.

The Airbus A320-232 then landed around an hour and 15 minutes later.
