Watch scary landing attempt of a Finn plane in windy Rhodes (video)

The aircraft managed to eventually land

Newsroom April 18 12:44

A video shows a pilot of an airplane from Finland as he tried hard to land despite the stormy winds, but at the last moment, before the wheels touched the ground, he changed his mind.

The flight is from the Finnish company Finn Air to Rhodes and the plane was scheduled to land at the island’s airport late yesterday afternoon, however, as can be seen in this video the weather conditions made it impossible.

The pilot, after making several laps over the airport, tried to land despite the very strong winds that were blowing in the area. While he initially appears to be successful, he decides to pull the aircraft back up.

The suffering of dozens of passengers continued for a while. The plane finally landed a little later at the airport of Kos and late at night it flew to Rhodes where it managed to land around 23.30.
