Thumbs up 3 missed Approachs

Heard some A320 operating airline in India did 3 missed approaches in VEBS & then finally managed to land the aircraft in severe cyclonic storm.
Kudos to the pilots...!!!

What the hell was he trying to land there, during a cyclone, in the first place?

Doesn't sound right. As per DGCA regulations you have to divert after 2 missed approaches. Please correct me if I am wrong

After three missed approaches he probably had to land, I wonder what his fuel state was when he got on the ground.

Are you serious?......so that makes two of you!

Is there anyone else who thinks this is worthy of 'kudos'?!

Sorry, a bit subtle for me.

I didn't spot the irony, or wit!

Maybe the alternates were worse, so he had to keep on trying. How can you judge so easy?
