Incredible footage shows skill of pilots landing at Manchester Airport amid Storm Darragh

Footage shows the incredible skill of pilots battling the elements at Manchester airport as Storm Darragh continues to batter the UK.

It comes as a new yellow weather warning was issued for the north west for strong winds. A rare Met Office red warning for wind was earlier issued for parts of Wales and the South West which came into force in the early hours of the morning and lasted until 11am.

The warning, which has led to the cancellation of events in Greater Manchester and beyond including Christmas attractions and the Merseyside derby, was in place from 3am to 11am on Saturday. The Met Office warned of “damaging winds” with gusts of 93mph recorded in parts of the UK.

A number of other weather warnings remain in place across the UK, including two amber wind warnings covering Northern Ireland and much of the west coast of England and Wales. They are in place until 9pm on Saturday with 'potentially damaging winds' forecast.

A yellow weather warning for wind also covers all of England, including Greater Manchester, until 6am on Sunday. A separate yellow warning was also issued on Saturday by the Met Office for Sunday, from 6am until 6pm.

At Manchester Airport, multiple flights have been diverted, delayed and cancelled due to the storm.

An easyJet flight from Manchester to Belfast was forced to turn around. And a flight from Abu Dhabi to Manchester was diverted to Frankfurt as a result.

In videos taken by Manchester Evening News photographer Sean Hansford, multiple flights are seen attempting to land amidst the the super strong winds.

As aircraft shift, wobble and sway, pilots successful masterfully and land without issue. RyanAir, easyJet and Scandinavian Airlines were amongst those seen to show off their skills.
