Footage has emerged of the moment a plane landing was aborted in high winds at Heathrow Airport.

The BA jet, arriving from Aberdeen at around 10.50am on Monday, had to pull out because of strong winds affecting flights at the UK’s largest airport.

One set of the aircraft’s wheels touched down, but it rose again before both sets hit the runway, trailing smoke as they did so.

The plane’s right wing then lifted and the jet briefly moved along the runway at an angle with its left set of wheels on the ground.

The tail end of the fuselage then appeared to touch the ground, sending up more smoke before the craft lifted up and took off.

Paint dust can be seen coming off the tail after it strikes the runway, Big Jet TV said in a tweet, calling it a “tail strike”.

A321 TOGA and Tail Strike!
A full-on Touch and go, with a tail strike! Watch for the paint dust after contact and watch the empennage shaking as it drags. The pilot deserves a medal! BA training could use this in a scenario – happy to send the footage chaps 😉#aviation #AvGeek pic.twitter.com/ibXjmVJGiT

The pilot managed to successfully land the plane on a second attempt.

High winds from Storm Corrie, which swept across the UK over the weekend, brought gusts of up to 92mph.

It came after Storm Malik killed at least four people across northern Europe over the weekend, destroying houses, unleashing flooding and leaving thousands of households without electricity.

Heathrow, the UK’s largest airport, was used by more than 19 million passengers in 2021, less than one quarter of the total for the pre-pandemic year of 2019.
