Footage shows a Ryanair flight landing at Edinburgh Airport in strong crosswinds during Storm Éowyn.

Aviation enthusiast Jack posted the video to his YouTube channel AviateJack today (January 24), writing: “The pilots of Ryanair flight FR1018 (from Budapest) were forced to go-around on their first approach into Edinburgh airport this morning, however made a decent landing second time around considering the conditions. As you can see, they "crabbed" the aircraft down just above the runway before bringing the nose back to the centerline.”
