Glasgow Easyjet flight forced to abort landing due to Storm Dudley wind

A Easyjet flight into Glasgow Airport was forced into an aborted landing this afternoon due to high winds.

Flight EZY191G from Bristol attempted to land at Glasgow Airport around 3:55pm but was forced to take off again while on final approach.

Flightradar24 shows the plane quickly gained altitude to a height of around 5,000 feet over the skies of Paisley, East Kilbride and Cumbernauld as it performed a 'go-around' manoeuvre prior heading back towards the airport.

The flight subsequently landed safely at the second attempt at 4:09pm, nine minutes behind schedule.

The warning, which came into force at 2pm this afternoon, remains in place until midnight tonight.
