On Sunday afternoon, Jet2 flight LS1310 from Venice to Birmingham Airport encountered strong winds associated with Storm Boelo during landing. The aircraft veered off the paved runway and onto the grass beside the runway, as captured in a widely shared video on social media. Despite the unusual landing, the plane managed to return to the runway and continued towards its designated stand.
Passengers disembarked normally, according to a BBC report. Jet2 explained the incident as being caused by "exceptional weather conditions" resulting from Storm Boelo. The video clearly showed the Boeing 737-800 (G-JZHE) moving beyond the runway before correcting its path. Strong winds swept across the UK, creating difficult conditions for air travel as the storm affected Northern Ireland, Scotland, and parts of northern England.
