Captain Alexander Akopov (inset) who works for the Turkish company, AtlasGlobal, has been awarded an 'Order For Courage' after landing the hail-damaged passenger plane (top right and left) at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport during a fierce storm on Thursday.

A video (left) emerged today of the speedy landing showing the red and white jet bouncing down the runway as the pilot rushes to get his passengers safely on the ground.
