Batik Air Boeing 737 Viral Video: A Batik Air flight gave passengers and onlookers a scary moment when it tried to land during heavy rain and strong winds in Indonesia. The flight was coming from Pattimura Airport in Ambon and was about to land at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on June 28. The Boeing 737 plane had 177 passengers on board and what happened next left people breathless. As the plane approached the runway, the strong storm made it hard to control. A now-viral video shows the aircraft struggling to land. It suddenly tilts to one side, and one wing comes dangerously close to the ground. You can even hear people screaming in the video.

Luckily, the pilot managed to control the plane just in time and landed it safely. No one was hurt, and the plane wasn’t damaged either. The video was shared by Daily Mail with the caption: “A Batik Air plane is seen narrowly avoiding a crash landing due to bad weather as it approached the runway at Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia.”

Officials later confirmed that the pilots followed all safety rules. Indonesia’s Director General of Civil Aviation, Novie Riyanto, praised the crew and said the weather and flight operations would be closely checked in an investigation. Experts believe strong winds and sudden air changes made the landing very risky.

Not Batik Air’s First Scare:

In another incident last year, two Batik Air pilots fell asleep mid-flight while flying 153 passengers. One pilot was taking a nap, and the co-pilot also dozed off because he was tired from helping his wife care for their twin babies. Thankfully, that flight also landed safely.

Social Media Reactions:

The video shared on X (Formerly Twitter) by the handle '@airmainengineer' two days ago received 361k views from people. Users, without wasting any time, expressed their concern and anger about the viral video. " That was not nearly as dramatic as the screaming bystanders made it seem," a user wrote. "There are two ways to land a plane. One that is more commonly used is to crab crawl at an angle with the nose pointing into the wind. The other is to use the ailerons and dip one wing like this example. Perfect landing," a second user added.

"The delights of flying in the tropics. Been to Indonesia many times and flown with a variety of the local airlines, of which Batik was the worst. Garuda is excellent. Lion good. The rest are a step down," added a third user. "Thankfully, the pilot heard the screams of these chaps and understood something was not going well," added a fourth user.
