Main Points
A Singapore Airlines Airbus A350‑900 was forced to abort a landing at Perth Airport on Saturday, after footage captured the aircraft tilting sharply as it approached the runway. The video, posted on Facebook by Chris Perry, who said his sister was aboard, shows the plane’s left wing coming close to the ground before the pilots executed a go‑around and climbed back into the air. Flight‑tracking data for Singapore Airlines flight SQ213 confirms the aircraft returned to the air and later landed safely at approximately 12:30 pm. At that time, wind speeds at Perth Airport were recorded at 32 km/h (20 mph). Perry suggested that high winds may have contributed to the aborted approach, but he also noted that the flight landed successfully on its second attempt. The exact circumstances of the incident remain unclear, and the number of passengers on board has not been disclosed. Singapore Airlines and Perth Airport have been contacted for comment.
