Video, which has since been removed from YouTube, showed the Emirates plane seen struggling with the conditions as it descended towards the runway before taking back to the skies after the failed landing.

A flight operated by Brussels Airlines also struggled to land, and footage shows it being blown from side to side.

Justine Howl, communications manager at Birmingham Airport said the airport had remained fully operational but some aircraft had to do 'go-arounds' if they felt it was necessary on approach.
