Jet2 Boeing 737-800 Skids Off Runway at Birmingham Airport
Jet2 said all passengers disembarked normally after flight LS1310 briefly moved onto the grass because of exceptional weather conditions.
- On Sunday, October 25, a Jet2 Boeing 737-800 flight from Venice veered onto grass at Birmingham Airport during landing. Flight LS1310 returned to the runway, and all passengers disembarked normally.
- Powerful winds from Storm Boelo forced the deviation as the plane touched down. Birmingham Airport, situated 208 metres above sea level, is particularly exposed to strong gusts that disrupted travel across the region.
- Witnesses captured footage of the aircraft leaving the paved surface, with onlookers shouting "whoa" as the jet momentarily moved off the runway. Jet2 confirmed the plane taxied to the stand after the incident.
- Beyond the airport, the storm caused widespread disruption, leaving 109 homes in Ryton-on-Dunsmore without power. The Wild Zoological Park in Wolverhampton closed after being "absolutely battered by wind," with a keeper hit by a falling branch.
- Multiple flights diverted as pilots utilized standard safety procedures, including an easyJet flight from Bristol that landed in Newcastle and a Ryanair service from Tirana that diverted to Brussels.
