Not wishing to be controversial, but I live in a country where there is no requirement to check BPs at the door and with an active airport - very active in summer.

Yet, talking to my friends at the airport and in the airline ground support business, there are very few instances of pax boarding the wrong aircraft and these are identified by careful headcounts, which are SOP on the local airline.

I wonder why this happens so much in the UK?

Genuinely interested, not trying to provoke you.

At first glance, I'm wondering if the UK ground handling is less professional than the Maltese?
