I heard it but there was no wind to speak of. At least not here in Cookridge 2 miles away, and we are higher than the airport! Maybe they just got the approach wrong, or something was on the runway.

Obstruction on the runway according to this report.

This was the moment a pilot aborted landing at Leeds Bradford Airport amid an ‘obstruction’.

Subscribers only so no idea what it says. However, it's the YEP so it will no doubt be full if ridiculous c**p about LBA being dangerous and comments from informed passengers claiming they never fly from here because it's too
windy, too high, the runways too short, better going to MAN or DSA (oops).

Typical over-dramatic media reporting as usual when it comes to anything LBA

 

[Len Fish]

Indeed. This is from the report-“The aborted landing is common at Leeds Bradford Airport which is the highest airport in England“.

A go around adds to the excitement! I have only experienced 1 at LBA, that was last year on way back from TFS in the early hours!

 

[White Heather]

Wow news reporting at its worst, for a start it was night time this occured as i actually put a comment on here myself reg the missed approach, the pic shows daylight so its not actually footage, the fr24 pic is the only true image, and wind is weather so not in theory an obstruction! YEP=B****!

It wasn't a wind related go around. Obstruction on the runway could be anything from another aircraft, to an animal to a foreign object being reported that needed to be removed, but either way this is disgusting sensationalist reporting of the worst kind, which frankly, LBA should be having words about with the so called editor.

Unfortunately the press are a law unto themselves when it comes to inaccurate and misleading reporting.

Yes my error WH, there were 2 aborted ibiza flights, one thru the day and one in the night

Apparently there just has been an emergency at lba with an aer lingus returning due to smoke in cockpit, dep lba 12.53 returning minutes later according to reports

It was not an obstruction on the runway. The crew initiated the go around due to not being satisfied with their position on final approach.

The Aer Lingus had a warning indication and landed without incident.

Nowhere near dramatic enough for the YEP.

Click bait clearly.

I fly from LBA around 4-5 times a year, every year for the last 10 years but not as often the 30 years prior to that. I have only EVER had 2 go arounds, 1 at GIB and 1 at CDG….a lot of lumpy landings at LBA but not 1 go around…personally I love the airport, you’re in, through and off you go.

G-GDFM did another go around this afternoon, inbound from Jersey. It landed 2nd time. No other go around on a busy afternoon.

You watch, I’m flying back to LBA on Tuesday afternoon but then Ryanair don't do go arounds
