Video shows passengers on Dusseldorf plane reacting to Edinburgh landing

The moment plane passengers who thought they were headed to Dusseldorf found out they had landed at Edinburgh Airport has been captured on video.

Passengers apparently only realised the error when the plane landed and the "welcome to Edinburgh" announcement was made.

And the funny video shows the worker asking the packed plane: "No one to Edinburgh? No one to Edinburgh?"

Speaking over the tannoy, he tells the cabin "holy smoley" and the passengers can be heard laughing in disbelief.

It is understand the mistake was made after the flight paperwork was submitted incorrectly.

The plane, which started at London's City Airport, was then redirected and landed in Dusseldorf.

In the clip, the worker can be heard saying: "Holy smoly.

"No one to Edinburgh? No one to Edinburgh?"

The passengers shout back "no" and he answers: "OK. Please don't make photos or videos."

Passengers can be heard asking each other "how can you now know that?" and another said: "The embarrassment of taking us to the wrong place".
