That is a plane being used to train/practice landings.
It is without passengers and one of the pilots is training. There will also be another pilot on board, possibly two, providing support and checking that the trainee is performing their duties according to the manual.

If it is indeed a new pilot, when coming in for a landing, he'll hopefully be in luck now.
