Passengers on a TUI flight were left in a "flood of tears" as a "trainee pilot" was forced to abort a landing during a snowstorm.
The flight from Tenerife was due to arrive at around 8pm on Thursday at Manchester Airport, but the pilot was forced to divert the jet to East Midlands instead due to the extreme weather conditions.
Several people were 'screaming and crying' as the plane was buffeted around in the 'awful' turbulence as Storm Larissa battered the UK, a passenger told the Manchester Evening News.
