Manchester Evening News reported the pilot of the Emirates plane manoeuvred the aircraft carefully and managed to make a safe touch down on the tarmac, according to Mirror.co.uk. The challenging landing was posted by AviationUpClose on their YouTube channel on Tuesday as Storm Atiyah battered the airport with 43mph winds.
