This is the moment a plane had to abort its landing due to strong winds caused by Cyclone Fengal Storm.
An IndiGo flight was hit by heavy rain and strong winds as it landed at Chennai airport in India's Tamil Nadu state on Saturday.
The pilot was forced to climb back into stormy skies after aborting the landing just a few feet above the runway.
IndiGo later confirmed that the aircraft had performed a 'go-around', a standard safety procedure when conditions make landing unsafe.
“This is a standard and safe maneuver and our pilots have been extensively trained to handle these situations with the utmost professionalism,” the airline said in a statement.
The aircraft finally landed safely at 12:40 pm, just before the Chennai airport was closed for the day due to the cyclone.
