They saw they were flying into East Belfast and were like “Fuck that”
This happened to me once, 10 years ago. BA flight from London, we aborted landing three times- I was shitting bricks but at least we did finally land safely in Belfast.
I was on a recent flight home (now NYC) and the attempted landing felt like the wind was genuinely trying to tear the plane in two. We ending up diverting to Hartford and driving home 🥲
Ps this isn’t an aborted landing – it’s called ‘a go around ‘, which is a much less dramatic term.
Fair play to the pilots to know when its a NOPE. Never stop flying the plane.
Anyone know the flight number?
Brave? They didn’t choose to have an approach like that, and it’s not as if they can get off…
Jason Manfords flight
I was on this flight. Were now stuck in manchester for the night
Jesus….that nose down part. Reminded me of Delta 191.
Brilliant, calm piloting all around there.
We had an aborted landing a few weeks ago. It was almost on the tarmac, big gust of wind, and it was engines on full power till we circled back and he put it down on the 2nd go. People were applauding ffs. We don’t usually use the city Airport, and I’ll be using it less after that lol.
In theory how the fuck did it stay air bound with the amount of shite which would have been lodged in them poor passengers undies!
“Go arounds are free.”
And …. maybe not ….
My son was on a school skiing trip in P7. After 3 aborted landings they had to divert to Manchester.
“Go around” the most important two words in a pilot’s vocabulary.
We landed at the International about 20 minutes beforehand. Not fun.
I flew into Knock airport (Ireland West) with Ryanair once and it was similar to this, but they still landed. The nose didn’t drop like the video but the wings were side to side and looked like they nearly hit the ground on landing.
Yeah, cheers. I’ll try not to think of this when I’m on a plane.
This happened to me last year. Worst part for me was that I felt so travel sick and we had to go around again!
I can only imagine the vomiting
Scare the life out of you
Uhh… No thanks 😧
Fair play to the pilot
Turkish one in dublin bounced of runway and went back up.
Used to love flying into Belfast in the 90s in a little Shorts Skybus, not a fan of flying but this was always more like riding a clown car over a roller coaster track

Played enough flight sim to know this was doable
One of the shortest runways in Europe….
