The video uploaded to YouTube received hundreds of likes and comments, with some viewers speculating that the pilot had landed so low to show off. Another aviation enthusiast explained why the plane had to land at such a low distance:
“When there is high temperature and a short runway, you have to make a deep landing to maximize the runway. If the brakes overheat, it can damage the plane.”
The runway of Iskados International Airport is built between two hills in the north-east of the island. The relatively short runway requires pilots to approach as low as possible to land.

Due to the short runways at the airport, the planes departing from here have to take off with less fuel and many planes have to land in Thessaloniki to refuel.
