This is the dramatic moment a pilot made a skilful landing while the plane was blown by high winds in Malaysia.

The captain performed a crosswind landing during a windstorm at the Langkawi International Airport in Langkawi, Kedah, on July 14.

Footage shows the Boeing 737 operated by low-cost carrier Firefly manoeuvring in a slanted position before touching down on the runway.

The filmer said: 'Thank God they arrived safely despite the wind.'

The purpose of a crosswind landing is to deflect the flight path in the direction of the wind to prevent accidents.

Firefly is a subsidiary of flag carrier Malaysian Airlines.
