THIS is the shocking moment a Ryanair passenger jet was forced to abort its landing – just moments after touching down in the Canaries.

The pilot, unable to land the aircraft at Tenerife South Airport due to stormy weather conditions, had to perform a special manoeuvre.

Footage captured by the control tower shows the plane rocking from side to side before touching down in Tenerife on Thursday.

The aircraft can then be seen sharply pitching up and beginning to climb back into the air.

An aborted landing of this kind is referred to as a “go-around” manoeuvre in aviation.

When conditions are deemed unsafe for landing, pilots initiate this action to make another approach or divert to an alternative airport. 

Spanish air traffic controllers, who said the approach was aborted due to a “wind shear-related glitch”, explained the process:

“This is how a shear-related glitch looks from the Tenerife South control tower,” they wrote, sharing the footage on X.

A wind shear refers to a sudden change in speed over a short distance which is said to be often caused by small, yet intense storm bursts.

The controllers revealed in the comments on X how a “go-around” is executed.

They wrote: “There’s a published missed approach manoeuvre, so, in principle, we know what they’re going to do.

“And if we need to give them alternative instructions, we give them those too.”

No serious incidents or injuries were reported.

Spain’s State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) reported that adverse weather impacted airports across the Canary Islands on Thursday.

“Multiple missed approaches” were recorded throughout the day due to strong tailwinds and runway conditions, Canarian Weekly reports.

As May began, Spain experienced significant rainfall due to a strong Atlantic weather front that moved across the nation, resulting in extensive showers, hail, and a drop in temperatures.

Piedrabuena, in central Spain, was hit by rain and hail showers, leaving streets coated in white.

AEMET issued orange alerts for severe storms, strong winds and hail in central and eastern areas of the peninsula.

This weather follows Storm Nuria, the fourteenth named high-impact storm of the season.

In early April, a red alert was issued in the Canary Islands, particularly Tenerife and La Palma, due to “hurricane-force” winds.

The Canary Islands, typically known for their sunny weather and average temperatures around 18°C, saw extreme conditions.
