Strong winds caused some nail-biting moments at Belfast City Airport! An Aer Lingus flight had to abandon its landing attempt due to gusts reaching 33mph, and flights from Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool experienced delays as the weather wreaked havoc.
Several planes had to circle for hours before safely landing, and one aircraft even prepared for an emergency landing, with fire engines on standby just in case. Thankfully, all passengers and crew disembarked without any issues. The airport confirmed it was merely a precautionary measure.
