Watch: Air India plane lands 'smoothly' amid Storm Eunice in UK, pilots earn praise

Storm Eunice has been causing chaos in many parts of the United Kingdom for the last few days. The strong winds and heavy rains have caused major disturbances in daily life, traffic networks while mishaps have been reported on highways and roads.

Thousands of homes have been left without power, while several domestic and international flights have witnessed delays or cancellations.

Amid all the chaos, an Air India pilot has recently been earning praise for landing a Boeing 787 Dreamliner skilfully in the bad weather condition.

Due to the adverse weather condition, people have tuned in to Big Jet TV’s live streaming of flights landing at the Heathrow airport. During one of its live sessions, an Air India Dreamliner was seen struggling in the air after being hit with strong winds. All thanks to the skills of the pilots, who managed to ace the landing on the runway on the first attempt.

In the video, the airplane can be seen coming very low to the ground, while being very shaky. After a few minutes of struggle, the flight is seen landing safely on the runway to the airport.

“Looks like he has got it. Winds are gusting. Yeah, very skilled Indian pilot there,” the commentator in the video can be heard saying. According to reports, captains Anchit Bhardwaj and Aditya Rao were at the controls and they skillfully landed the Boeing Dreamliner aircraft on Friday afternoon.
