"As we were about to touch down, a gust of wind pressed the left wing towards the ground," a Lufthansa pilot identified only as Oliver A. said in a statement.
"We pulled up immediately. A maneuver we practice in training very often."
The airline said the pilot has been flying for Lufthansa for 17 years.
