The worst storm to hit the UK in 30 years, Storm Eunice, meant it caused chaos amongst the country's travel and transport network. One of the most affected areas was London and therefore the busiest airport in the country, London Heathrow Airport was massive affected too. The airport sees all of the largest jets from most of the major airlines around the world, including this Airbus A380 from Qatar Airways.
The pilots decided the first two approaches were unstable and performed a perfectly safe and practiced manoeuvre known as a go around. This is where the aircraft climbs back up to a safer altitude and fly back around for another attempt at a landing. On the third attempt, it was able to land safely after what was nearly an hour after it first tried to get in.
