Only Ryanair can land at the wrong airport !

And they are blaming their sub-contractor - as if it makes them look better that they employ people to operate their flights whose pilots are so skilled they can't even identify the right airfield ! Astonishing ! (And scary).

This must have happened before somewhere, but not too often I'm guessing on flights operated by commercial airlines.

P.S. - I'd love to know what announcement was made on board once the pilot realised what had happened !!!
