A passenger reported the crew indicated they had aborted their first approach due to thunderstorms. On second approach they observed lightning near the aircraft and felt light rumble. The aircraft should have flown to Billund on its next sector, however, another aircraft performed that flight.
The aircraft was unable to continue its schedule and is still on the ground in Frankfurt about 9 hours after landing.
