The unpredictable weather made landing impossible and air traffic controllers instructed the pilot to turn back.

One shaken passenger described the terrifying flight as the “scariest of their life”.

They said: “At first, everything seemed normal.

“But as soon as we touched the ground, the plane was swallowed by a sandstorm. Within seconds, we were airborne again.

“The next ten to twelve minutes were some of the scariest of my life.

“The plane was being thrown around violently, visibility was gone.

“It felt like we were caught inside a cyclone.”
