Narrative:
The saga continues: air carrier X flight requested a push clearance via data link (commercial radio). Requested push request population (lit-up) at gate a, aircraft pushed off gate D into another controller's area. A check with air carrier X operations revealed that the aircraft had been moved to that gate and that the gate information had not been updated by air carrier X. Gate D is located on the north side of the midfield terminal. Gate a is located on the south side.
