Posted video of landing a swinging airliner

Strong wind did not allow to land the plane in Gibraltar.

The pilots could not land the Airbus A320 at Gibraltar airport. The British Airways airliner flew in from London, but at the final point of the route, a strong wind made it difficult for piloting, which swung the plane from side to side.

The incident was filmed by local resident Richard Whalley, who posted the video online.

Commenting on the footage of the video, Wally said that on Monday there was a strong wind, and he was in the office. There was a loud noise from the liner engines. Wally looked out the window and saw the plane "Performing funny maneuvers"- quotes the author of the CNN video.

The airline "British Airways" explained that the pilots of the liner did not take the risk of refusing to land in Gibraltar. The plane has landed at Malaga airport. Passengers were taken to their destination by land transport. The airline representatives assured that there was no threat to passengers.
