737-8, G-TAWD. Presumably related to the storm conditions. There are more pictures on the onwards links, indicating landing gear extended but partially buried in the earth and possibly damaged, so the engines are nearly or actually scraping on the ground.A holiday jet skidded off a runway as it came in to land amid wet and windy conditions as Storm Babet swept the UK.
The TUI flight from Corfu "moved off the runway whilst landing" at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) on Friday afternoon, the firm said.
LBA said all passengers had been safely taken off the plane and the airport had closed, with travellers urged to check with airlines before setting off.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said there were no injuries or fires.
