Watch: Air NZ s pretty dramatic aborted landing in Rarotonga, Cook Islands Mon, 28 Jun 2021, 3:06PM
New footage has shown the pretty dramatic and scary moment an Air New Zealand plane was forced to abort a landing while attempting to touch down over the weekend.
On Saturday, locals gathered near Rarotonga International Airport to watch planes come into land.
But stormy weather and gusty crosswinds created a difficult time for pilots attempting to land safely, giving locals an eye-opening and close up view.
The footage shows the Air NZ 787 Dreamliner approaching the runway at a significant angle, getting just metres from the ground before pulling out and aborting the scheduled landing.

Travelling with my mum: Sharing beautiful memories to help celebrate Mother s Day
13 minutes to read
By: Maggie Wicks The first trip just I and my mum took together was to Sydney in 1994. I was 14 years old, we went for New Year s Eve, and she tells me I moped the whole time. Sorry, Mum.
Through my 30s I lived in London, and when she visited we went to Italy, to Rye, to Norfolk, to the nightly Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London. Now that I m back, I ve taken her on work trips to Northland, and Waiheke Island, so she can critique the decor while I ooh and aah at the luxury of a lodge.
