Dramatic moment passenger plane aborts Perth Airport landing
Dramatic footage has captured the moment a passenger plane was forced to abandon its landing at Perth Airport in a scary near-miss.
A Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900 was filmed at Perth Airport as it initiated a go-around rather than completing a landing, according to footage shared on social media.
The video shows the aircraft approaching the runway under dark, cloudy skies before tilting and lifting away from the ground, with flight-tracking data indicating the Airbus A350-900 climbed back into the sky after the abortive landing attempt.
The incident occurred at Perth Airport on a Saturday, with wind speeds reported as 32 km/h at the time the plane landed just after 12:30 pm, according to the available flight data.
The post accompanying the footage described the moment as a near-miss and noted a passenger connection to the flight, while also suggesting high winds as a possible influence on the aborted landing; no injuries or aircraft damage are confirmed in the provided material.
The situation is described as a standard aviation safety procedure, known as a go-around, though the exact details and circumstances surrounding why the landing could not be completed are not established in the supplied material.
Singapore Airlines and Perth Airport have been contacted for comment, but no further information is included in the provided source material.
