SIA plane tilts sharply during Perth landing, pilots pull off 'perfect landing' on 2nd attempt
Strong winds.
On October 31, 2026, a Singapore Airlines (SIA) aircraft experienced a sharp tilt during an attempted landing at Perth Airport in Australia, as captured in a video circulating online. The plane, flight SQ213, was approaching the runway when it appeared to lean to the right, with its right wing near the ground. The aircraft then lifted off instead of landing. The footage was shared on Facebook by Chris Perry, whose sister was among the passengers.
A second video, also posted by Perry, showed the aircraft landing safely on its second attempt. SIA confirmed that the aircraft had indeed been affected by strong winds while approaching Perth International Airport, prompting the pilots to execute a go-around. The Airbus A350-900 safely touched down at 12:30 PM local time and taxied to the gate. SIA emphasized that the safety of its customers and crew remains its top priority.
