A Lufthansa Boeing 747-8i, operating as Flight LH 456, executed a notably hard and dramatic touch-and-go at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. The maneuver, which deviated from routine landings, captured the attention of airport onlookers and aviation enthusiasts.
Witnesses described the aircraft’s approach as unusually abrupt, with the Boeing 747 touching down forcefully on the runway before immediately ascending back into the sky.
The reasons behind the decision for such an abrupt maneuver by the experienced Lufthansa crew are not immediately clear.
Following the incident, the aircraft circled back and successfully completed a safe landing. There were no reports of injuries among the passengers or crew.
