SIA plane tilts sharply during Perth landing, pilots pull off 'perfect landing' on 2nd attempt

A Singapore Airlines (SIA) aircraft was seen tilting sharply to one side while attempting to land at Perth Airport in Australia on Oct. 31, 2026.

A video circulating online showed the aircraft tilting to the right as it approached the runway, with its right wing appearing close to the ground.

The plane subsequently climbed back into the air instead of landing.

The footage was shared on Facebook by Chris Perry on Oct. 31.

Perry's sister was reportedly among the passengers on board the aircraft.

A second video posted by Perry showed the aircraft subsequently landing safely.
