Oops... Airliner lands at the wrong airport...

It's possible that ATC had the wrong destination listed for the
aircraft.

No, it's not. No airliners go into Ellsworth.

So it's impossible? You have a funny definition of "impossible".

If the fact that no airliners go into Ellsworth really meant it was
impossible to have that airport accidently listed as the destination for the
airplane, then it would follow that ATC (being the infalliable group of
people they are, since they could never possibly list the wrong destination
for an airliner) would have also noticed the airliner landing at an airport
at which no airliner ever lands.

Oh, no...but, wait. It seems they didn't notice that an airliner was
getting ready to land at an airport at which no airliner ever lands. I
guess ATC isn't quite as infalliable as you'd like to believe, which means
it IS possible (though perhaps unlikely) that ATC had the wrong destination
listed for the airliner.
