Passengers aboard a flight in strong winds this week have spoken of the 'scary' final moments of their journey as a pilot was forced to abandon landing to divert around blustery winds. Planes this week have been seen tilting through heavy winds this week and the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning across large parts of the South West as Storm Noa blew across the region.
Footage captured by Aviation Hunters at Bristol Airport has demonstrated just how gusty weather conditions have been, with some planes having visible difficulties when attempting to land. Now, passengers on a flight in similar conditions have spoken about the 'dramatic' moment their flight from Lanzarote to Manchester was forced to divert to Birmingham after an aborted landing.
Travellers on the Jet2 flight LS892 on Tuesday, April 11 recalled the 'scary' moment their pilot performed a 'go-around' in strong winds before diverting. A 'go-around' is an aborted landing of a plane which is on the final approach, or has already touched down.
