@ Wind shear ahead

You are absolutely right! It Was a Swedish company that mixed up the destinations, it is out of existance since about 3 years.

To be fair to the crew, ops failed to mention the new destination and issued flight plans to SCQ instead of SVQ. Since SCQ was a regular destination out of BCN nobody raised an eyebrow in the cockpit.

The language barrier between cabin and cockpit did not exactly help! At the end of the day everybody was home safe...

Quite a few other incidents this summer with the same airline should have raised some eyebrows though. I have always wondered why it did not!
