What is this flight from Lyon St Exupéry (LYS) to Lyon Bron (LYN)?

score:1

Accepted answer

I concur, probably an error, and the flight departures board from the Lyon St Exupéry Airport website shows interesting stuff:

enter image description here

As you can see, that flight:

  • only shows the destination airport code, when others show the destination name
  • does not have a status

Interestingly, there's another flight to LYN at 18:00, with yet another airline and flight number. That one shows "Canceled", though. CCI may be the "Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie", which is a local authority dedicated to business support, which is usually the (part) owner of airports in the area. In the case of LYS, the CCI of Lyon used to be the operator, and they now indirectly own 25% of the airport, so they are probably still involved in its operations.

Trying to click on any of those results in a blank page rather than the usual flight status details, which again seems to be an indication of incorrect data.

So either an error (manual input error, or a problem in some automated process), some kind of test, or maybe due to systems integration they had to do something funny to be able to display something specific on the screens of some check-in desk for whatever fun activity they may have been doing :-)

Most likely this is an error.

First, no such flight appears on either flightradar24.com or flightaware.com.

Second, this "flight" is supposed to depart at 17:00 from gate 11, but there is an actual EasyJet flight scheduled to depart at 17:05 from gate 11. It departed at 17:36.

Finally, the only recorded flight between these two airports was indeed a general aviation flight by F-HCFX several days ago.

All this indicates to me that it was just an error.
