A pilot had to battle Storm Dennis' devastating crosswinds while landing the world's biggest passenger jet with up to 500 people on board.

The extraordinary landing was captured in dramatic footage showing the Airbus A380 superjumbo being rocked by severe gales at London's Heathrow Airport.

In the video, the hulking Etihad Airways plane - weighing almost 574,000kg - comes in at a sharp angle on its approach to the runway and then flies just feet above the tarmac for several seconds.

The £340million double-decker jet - known for its exclusive first class 'apartment in the sky' - then touches down and rights itself before taxiing to a terminal as west London was battered by wind gusts of up to 50mph.

The flight crew's skills were on full display as the massive four-engine plane landed safely after a long-haul flight from Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

One wrote: "This pilot is just a great champion, the passengers owe him a huge thank you Bravo Monsieur."

Another added: "Wow, that landing probably made braving the elements worth it. Great capture and an awesome job by the pilot."

And a third wrote: "Wooow that is insane incredible."

With a wingspan of 262ft and length of 238ft, the A380 is the largest commercial passenger plane in the world. It is also one of the most expensive, with a brand new aircraft costing £340million.

It has a typical seating capacity of 525, although it is certified to carry as many as 853. Etihad's version has almost 500 seats for passengers.

Etihad's A380 fleet is known for The Residence, a one-of-a-kind, private suite with a bedroom, ensuite shower room and living room for two passengers. A one-way ticket costs almost £20,000 for two.
