- All the best highlights from today’s storm!
Storm Pia hit the UK on 21st December 2023, with Manchester Airport getting hit quite badly. Crosswinds of up to 50 knots caused crazy go arounds and mass diversions with some flight returning to their originating airport and the odd go around which is a perfectly normal but still an impressive procedure to watch.

Information about Manchester Airport:
Situated in the North West of England Manchester Airport is a popular choice for holiday makers and business travelers alike. As plane spotters we get treated to many different airlines and aircraft with the amazing ability to see them up close at many locations including Southside, the runway visitor park, the airport pub and many more. We see it all from the Emirates A380 take off to Ryanair landings (you can decide if they're hard landings!). There are few other airports where you can get up close and see inside the cockpit of Etihad airways or a British Aiways A320 all in the space of one morning. We are the best place to catch live arrivals and departures at Manchester Airport.

OMG just wait for the Finnair 😱😱😱
"Just at the moment of landing, a strong gust tilted the plane strongly to the right, causing the plane to land on the runway at Manchester International Airport on the right side wheels before balancing." Yes, our boys are clever :-)
I've been on that very flight many times.. thankfully today was not one! Some tricky conditions for sure! Depart in snow arrive in a storm
Finnish pilots are the bests😊
Great to see our flag carrying fellas get some recognition
I was on that Finnair flight. I felt sick at the time, and feel sick again now watching it back! 🤢😵💫
Let's give the pilots a big clap for their amazing skills in landing these planes!!
💯👌
Hats off to these pilots for dealing with such heavy wind and hats off you your new team member for braving the cold 👍
💯👌
06:34 Finnair literally did a low flypast over the runway like at Airshow 🙂 Stunning compilation Simon !
I landed at Manchester from Antayla tonight around 7pm and actually thought we were not going to make it at one point.I've flown many many times and never experienced a gust of wind that hit us as we were landing, kids were crying and adults screaming but the Pilot did a rudder correction at the last minute and straightened it up. I've never come in sideways to the ground at speed and can tell you it was scary!! Full respect to the pilot and crew of easyjet for the skill showed in the landing.
Yeah the flight crews were doing an amazing job and I’m glad you landed safely
Wooooo! That Finnair was really something. 😮
Yeah it really was!!
Kudos to those pilots, some brilliant landings
Most of these landings look incredibly smooth! Imagine flying all the way from Singapore and having to do a go-around just when you think you have arrived!
What an inconvenience that is lol
All good things come to those who wait..
Wow, the struggles were real! Great footage despite the strong winds!!
Thanks for your kind words!! 👌
I used to work at a factory next to the Heald Green crossroads, which is less than a mile from touchdown. Waiting at the crossroads you're directly in line with the approach, I can clearly remember the planes in a queue, flying "sideways" in these sort of conditions. Completely mesmerising, and easy to miss that traffic lights had gone green!
Yeah it’s crazy to see that up close!!
Wow some crazy winds, epic catches. When such a thing can effect the approach of a A380 the you know that how strong and disruptive the wind can be. 👍✈️
Yeah it really was something to watch!!! Mother Nature is a beast!!
Look at the windsock……it’s virtually down the runway. Just land it. Yes I have done it.
Thanks so much for braving the weather to get these views, it's much appreciated. Great pilot skills on display, but I'm glad I wasn't a passenger on any of those flights.
I’ll pass on you kind words to our new team member who braved those conditions!! I’m sure he will appreciate your kind words 😊
Amazing pilot skills,thanks Simon for sharing 👍
Yeah they were on it today!! 🛬🌬️
I arrived that day with Brussels airlines and it was like we were a leaf falling from a tree and goes with the wind 😂 also my big respect to the pilots!! Only one try needed!
Incredible landings! Great video👏👏
Glad you like it mate!!
Stunning footage guys, that finnair was mental!
Yeah it was crazy on both occasions 😳😳
You know you’ve made it as a easy jet pilot when you land smoother than icelandair, Finnair, and Lufthansa 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Finnair!! 😳😳 Holy smokes!! 😧
I know mate, it’s crazy!!
Thank you for braving the storm!
I’ll pass on your kind words 👌
Wow great catches! Well done for braving those elements 🙌
Yeah it was a very special day today!!
Fantastic footage guys! Smooth filming and awesome landings.
Thank you so much for your kind words 👌
Fantastic captures! May I feature the Finnair A321 landing in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you!
Absolutely mate and thanks for the feature this week 👌
Awesome, thanks!@@ThinkPlanes
An excellent put together video! Well done
We are so glad that you like it 😊
Great video! Fantastic vantage point which gives a fantastic view of the aircraft as they touch down (or not!) The control on the Finnair was superb, if a little scary. Well done 👍👍👍👏🎄
Many thanks!
That first Singapore landing attempt was wild, a replay of the flight path showed that its climb rate on the go-around was about 4000ft/min
Oh wow 😮
Yes we were on it. Never seem so many people throwing up in a plane. It was very rough.
Super footage great to watch the highlights!
Yeah it’s nice to fit a few hours of amazing action into a few minutes 👌
Some great sequences there. Kudos to the pilots for keeping such calm heads in very trying conditions 👍
Absolutely!!
@@ThinkPlanes .. and thanks also goes to you guys for bringing it all to us 😅
There were some sweaty hands onboard that poor ATR72 lol
Yeah they do get blown around a lot but as they stop so quickly it means they have a few more opportunities to land on an attempt
Yep I was on it, absolutely terrifying
Awesome captures, and great camera work! Would you be okay with me featuring the Finnair A321 go around in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks mate!
Hi there sorry for the late reply. We are happy for you to use our uploads using the terms that you described, many thanks
@@ThinkPlanes I appreciate it, thanks! Just to clarify, I can feature any of the uploads on your channel with credits?
@@lucaas that is correct 👍
@@ThinkPlanes Got it, cheers 👍
Really enjoyed that Thank you guys 👍😊😊
It’s our pleasure 👌
Tremendous skill shown by these pilots
Absolutely
Was hoping you’d be live this morning!
On Thursdays we know Simon Lowe is live and we respect that is a day that he streams on. We have respect for him and the great job that he does and wouldn’t dare stream just to gain a few extra views, but thanks for thinking of us 👌
@@ThinkPlanes tongue in cheek to be honest. Great vids as usual though
The storm made the aircrafts look like paper planes. a380 Emirates was wobbly for that weight. Butter landings were Easyjet and Ryanair. Great videos. Keep it up Simon n Liz
Thank you 😊
Brave man out in that weather
He certainly was!!
We were on the Singapore fliht coming in from Houston. Never seen so many people throwing up on a plane. It was rough.
Oh wow that sounds really grim!!
Cool footage - Thanks.
Thank you 😊
Great little show
Thank you Ian! We are so glad that you liked it 😊
Great footage well done 👏
We are so glad that you like it 👌
6:08 Returned Back To Frankfurt
I was on the easyjet that went around. We ended up at east midlands for 4 hours then returned to manchester for another go.More than half the passengers got off at east midlands as they had had enough flying for one day 😅
I bet that was enough flying for a few weeks never mind the day!
Great footage thank you. The most terrified people here are Ryanair pilots who dare not go around for wasting fuel and turn around time!
That pressure makes them do some great landings then 😜
Good stuff but I wondered why it wasn’t the usual several hour livestream today ? Thank you all the same. Nice job 👍🏼
We don’t stream in Thursdays and we know Simon Lowe streams then and respect him enough that I would find it really cheap and tacky to go live just to get a few extra views 👌
@@ThinkPlanes of course that makes sense and is most considerate of you. Best wishes
WOW!!😮
Thanks mate
0:29 1:09 woooooooooooooooow airbus A380 the king of the air 🤩
It happened to us yesterday although not too bad, Alhamduliilah
nice Capture! can i use this as part of my series? you will be credited in the description and video
Yeah that is fine with us 👌
This is an incredible spot for this
Yeah it really is 👌
I love your stream guys 😎😎
Thank you mate!!
🌪️Nice day to try 🦘 landings 🌪️👶👏❤️
Go Arounds are crazy
Well you won't be disappointed with this upload!!
@@ThinkPlanes yup 👍
I thought this was london heathrow then i realised its newyork jfk. 👍
I'm flying to Lanzarote in April.
Hopefully the winds will have died down by then
I think you will be fine for that 👌
"Windshear"
"Too Low"
Finnish pilots are like Finnish racing drivers. They know what they are doing. Just leave them alone.
6:26 Diverted To Gatwick
Where is that spot where you are in this video? I would like to know because it looks like a good spot
Moss lane
Finnair didn’t have it easy that day 😅 Safely on the ground as usual tho
That’s the aim of the game at the end of the day! 👌
The Finnair made it harder than it looked...
Wonder how many paper bags were handed out today 😂😂😂
I would say the airlines put a new order in after today to replenish supplies!
That Finnair was close to having a very bad day. Sheeesh kebab
Yeah it had a few special moments 😳
👍👍👍❤🤍💚
It was great to watch but unfortunately I can’t comment as seem to be blocked
You aren’t blocked as I can see your comment
Finnair? Finnice more like.
Well said 🤣🤣

"Just at the moment of landing, a strong gust tilted the plane strongly to the right, causing the plane to land on the runway at Manchester International Airport on the right side wheels before balancing." Our boys are trained for this :-)
@@JuhaNuha Never let facts get in the way of a good joke. 😁
Was on the afternoon HEL-MAN that day…knew when the driver explained the delay leaving HEL was due to MAN ATC restrictions that we too may have a bit of a bump…not as bad as the morning but the most fun I’ve had on a flight in a while…
Not sure that headline is correct. Very few commercial aircraft are certified for 50kt crosswinds making against company SOPs to attempt a landing
The title is 100% correct!! At times there were 50kt crosswind’s yesterday, you are however making an assumption that planes were landing at that time.
He kinda faked the name: It supposed to be 28kts damn
Kinda didn’t 🙄
A380 could land in a hurricane haha
In fairness it had to do a go around before this landing 🛬
Pilots earning their coin today 😳
Absolutely 👍
I use to know someone who got on a flight to Helsinki, and I never saw him again after he got on the plain. He disappeared into Finnair
😂
