Ryanair flight landing makes holidaymakers scream
- Video captured the moment a Ryanair plane carrying tourists landed with a thud
- Mobile phone video, taken aboard the plane, shows it approaching the runway
- The aircraft bounces off the tarmac as its lands and jolts passengers forward
- The budget airline was travelling from Fuerteventura to Leeds Bradford Airport
Terrifying footage captured the moment a Ryanair plane carrying tourists landed with a thud, throwing passengers out of their seats.
The mobile phone video shows the plane edging towards the runway at Leeds Bradford Airport, West Yorks.
However the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's wheels rebound off the tarmac as it touches down and jolts screaming holidaymakers forward.Â
A Ryanair spokesman said they encountered strong winds as they approached Leeds Bradford airportÂ
The budget airline was travelling from Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands on afternoon Friday.
The clip was filmed by passenger Craig Cullinan who described it as the worst landing he had experienced in years of flying.Â
Cullinan told the MailOnline:Â 'The aircraft just got a point where it then just seemed to drop from the sky directly onto the tarmac.
'We came down with such a thud at first I thought the landing gear was going to collapse and we would end up sliding along the runway.Â
'The aircraft threw passengers left and right, with the pilot eventually gaining control and straightening us up.Â
'Just to rub salt into the wounds, rather than t he pilot apologising to passengers on the extremely heavy landing, they instead played the Ryanair fan fair as we started taxing to the gate thanking us for flying with Ryanair.'Â Â

A spokesman for Ryanair also told MailOnline: 'The aircraft experienced cross winds on approach to Leeds Bradford airport and landed normally and safely.'Â
Ryanair added: 'They landed safely and there was never any danger of the landing gear collapsing. This is a false, misleading and sensationalist claim.'
The airport is the highest in the UK and regularly experiences high winds and therefore bumpy and even aborted landings are common place.Â
In January 2016 an easyJet plan flying from Geneva, Switzerland attempted to land only to propel back up into the skies due to potentially dangerous wind speeds.
