A Jet2 passenger aircraft briefly leaves the runway and moves onto the grass during landing at Birmingham Airport amid high winds from Storm Boelo. Footage circulated online shows the plane veering off the paved surface and then correcting back toward the runway.
BBC News and other outlets describe the incident as a short, momentary excursion caused by weather conditions, with disruption from Storm Boelo affecting travel across the West Midlands. The reports say the aircraft regains the runway and continues to its airport stand, and passengers are able to disembark normally.
Some outlets focus more on the “landing scare” framing and the video of the aircraft, while others emphasize the storm’s broader impact on flights. One aviation-focused outlet adds a question about what the event suggests for landings in adverse conditions, while still describing the same basic runway excursion.
