The British Airways plane's captain was forced to abort landing at Heathrow airport due to high winds. According to Sky News, the jet arrived from Aberdeen at around 10:50 am on Monday but the pilot abandoned the scheduled landing as the aircraft was buffeted by strong winds caused by Storm Corrie.

That is what happens when recruitment and promotion is purely based on merit.

Wanted to ask that too but the winds buffet the plane a ground level...approach seems smooth.

Local wind phenomena like wind shears and microbursts can happen at a moment's notice. Not even the best weather radar can detect them, only take caution when the conditions look like they may cause such conditions. Both microburst and windshield affect ground level air, especially on the flat, open grounds at airports
