Spirit Airlines issued an apology after putting a six-year-old unaccompanied minor on the wrong flight.

The child was set to fly on Thursday from Philadelphia International Airport to Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers, Florida, to visit his grandmother, WINK-TV reported.

Instead, the boy was “incorrectly boarded” on a flight to Orlando, Spirit acknowledged in a statement on Saturday.

The statement did not address how the error came to take place - during a busy holiday travel day.

      Not in this case. Some day you might get a job where you work in a place that has more than one person employed. And maybe it’ll be then that you’ll get to see how one person can make an error that snowballs into many people unwittingly making errors as a result- that causes a problem similar to this.

      This is something that happens when humans are involved.

      It’s because they’re not perfect. I know, I know…. This flies in the face of hive-minded polarization you’re accustomed to… But that’s not something you really need to worry about. Just o ow that life and evening that exists within it all happens within a grey area. And within that grey area, is imperfect people.

      In this case- what I said was correct. Mistakes were made. It was corrected. This type of thing happens when people are involved. You can hang any excuse you’d like on this that you’d like, but there won’t be anything you’ll say that can prove me wrong.
