UK - London - Landing blurred airliner in evening sky

With bright landing lights on, blurred jet airliner lands at London Heathrow airport. As the plane passes overhead, we see its blurred shape against a darkening sky at dusk - a busy time in the airport's day. London Heathrow is a major international airport, the busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the busiest airport in Europe by passenger traffic. It is also the third busiest airport in the world by total passenger traffic, handling more international passengers than any other airport around the globe. From the chapter entitled 'Up in the Air' and from the book 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Allianz, The School of Life, Profile Books, 2015).
