    WATCH as flight carrying Duke & Duchess of Sussex aborts landing into Sydney. @qantas pilot says reason was another plane on the runway - and sees the positives... “You’ll get another great view of the harbour”. #RoyalTour #HarryandMeghanpic.twitter.com/TLWA76vIuO

        Pilot described it as a “missed approach” and we landed safely a few minutes later. And it was true - views of Sydney were just as good second time around.

        It was a simple case of the aircraft in front not vacating the runway in time. Happens everyday, across the world.
