Kenyans online have praised two pilots working for the national carrier, Kenya Airways, who landed aeroplanes amid Storm Eunice in Europe.

One of the pilots, Ruth Karauri, landed at London's Heathrow airport while Clive Nyachieo landed at Amsterdam's Schiphol aiport.

Ms Karauri's landing was documented by a live streaming service as planes landed amid the storm - which was viewed by millions of people.

The Kenyan pilot later recorded a video at the cockpit with her first officer Ayoob Harunany, explaining how they landed:

Mr Nyachieo's landing was shortly after a cargo flight abandoned landing at the Schiphol airport because of the extreme weather conditions.

Kenyans online have throughout the weekend praised both pilots.

"#StormEunice also affected a large part of Europe and Capt Clive Nyachieo did an outstanding job landing the 787 at Amsterdam. Congrats!," Kenya's Central Bank Governor Patrick Njoroge tweeted.

"Salute to Captain Ruth Karauri. She's motivating aviators out there that it is possible irrespective of gender. Salute to Kenya Airways for producing competent and skilful personalities," Manuel wrote on Twitter.
