When an airplane lands in the winter in a very cold country like Sweden, the hot air coming out of the huge aircraft engines undergoes a form of extreme condensation.

This extreme condensation creates vapor trails which are very common at high altitudes, where temperatures are always very low. 

However, as shown in the video, this same phenomenon may also occur on the ground in the case of countries with harsh winter climates and very low temperatures.
