EasyJet Airbus A320neo MISSED APPROACH & landing at Birmingham Airport, BHX

The first time ever that a flight I was on conducted a missed approach! As we were descending towards Birmingham Airport we were hit with a windshear which prompted the pilots to abandon our approach to runway 15 & do some holding over the city. We held over Birmingham for roughly 25 minutes as it was super windy on this day making it more challenging for aircraft to land, but after holding for roughly 25 minutes we conducted a second approach but this time onto Birminghams runway 33 instead of 15 as the airport changed runways as a result of winds changing direction. Definitely not everyday you experience this but from an AvGeeks perspective it was cool to experience.

This was EasyJet flight 331 from Edinburgh Airport (EDI) to Birmingham Airport (BHX) on April 15th 2024. This flight was operated by an Airbus A320neo, registered as G-UZLW. Filmed from seat 18F.

The engineering that goes into modern jet liner wings is insane

Great footage! Nice too see how the flaps actually operate . It’s crazy the difference in weather on the second attempt

Well done to the pilot and crew on a smooth landing there, when I went to Malta 🇲🇹 with a friend on holiday some years ago we flew from Birmingham Airport, think it was Air Malta at that time, so am familiar with the airport.

Had the same thing last week with ryanair in Kracow Poland with thick fog. About to touch down then full power on and back up in the air.

Some quality recording this is! Love me a go around, but don’t think some people like them. Back in December 2023, on New Years Eve, I returned on Saudia from my almost two week trip from Saudi, the METAR read “EGBB 311120Z 19009KT 160V230 9999 -SHRA BKN012 07/06 Q0983=”, I actually recorded my landing for that, was a bit firm in my opinion. Anywho, nice view of the JLR Factory there in Solihull at 2:25

I was at Birmingham airport today

I suspect we must have landed, EasyJet, from Morocco into Edinburgh in the same storm. I was expecting a go around when we had a huge starboard wing lift, as we were over the apron, but the pilot put her down as gentle as you could want. I have to say, the pilot's cockpit coms on both flights were superb. Both of them sounded as though they were doing RAF pilot voices from WW2 movies.

On a TUI flight from Alicante did this at Birmingham airport happens many times not a big deal

Im going on a easyjet flight to lisbon from birmingham during February halfterm i just hope and pray that on my flight back from lisbon to birmingham we dont have bad weather so we can just land because this happened around october last year i was on a ryanair flight from verona italy back home to birmingham airport and we tried to land and we count land due to high winds it was so dark and stormy we couldn't see a thing or where we were we had to stay in the sky for around a hour or 2 if i can remember and then at one point wr finally landed safely and the who plane cheered and clapped for the pilots thank god we laded safety i hope i dont get that experience with easy jet
