Aviation movement. - Woman ends up on a different plane heading to Albania instead of Athens.

An 83-year-old senior in a wheelchair had an unfortunate mistake during her travel plans at Nuremberg Airport, resulting in her being put on the wrong plane for Tirana, Albania instead of her intended destination, Athens, Greece. The airport spokesperson apologized on Friday, citing a series of unlucky occurrences and possible communication issues due to the non-German or English-speaking nature of the passenger. The elderly woman's family has been updated on the situation, and the airport is working to prevent such mix-ups in the future.

The woman, who had intended to visit her family in Greece, ended up in Tirana. Her daughter spoke with local newspaper Nuremberg Nachrichten and revealed that she was notified of the error by a call from her mother. The daughter promptly arranged a new flight and accommodations in Athens. It remains unclear how the mix-up occurred; the mother did not even have a ticket for the flight to Albania.

The airport authorities later clarified that an internal investigation has taken place and changes have been made to prevent similar incidents from happening again. The 83-year-old's daughter first reached out to the airport on May 22nd via email, and the airport promptly responded with an apology and offers of assistance, including covering the cost of the onward journey, booking a new flight, and accommodating any associated expenses.
