Seven-hour journey for easyJet passengers involved in aborted landing

Storm Debi meant pilot was unable to land safely at Ronaldsway

An easyJet flight from Manchester to the Isle of Man had to abort its landing at Ronaldsway today (13 November) due to Storm Debi

It meant passengers faced a seven-hour journey - as the plane returned to England - instead of the usual flight time of just under 60 minutes. 

Footage has been shared of the flight failing to land - it shows the plane pulling up at the last second before hitting the runway.

Olivia Christian was onboard - she'd been to Manchester to attend a concert over the weekend:

The video below was filmed by Olivia's stepdad Steve Mitchell who was waiting for her to arrive:
