Messy afternoon at NZAA

Looks like there's some runway debris that's got to be cleaned up. All arrivals in holds around the area.

Update: Some arrivals now diverting to Christchurch and Wellington. Looks like there's heavy rain and flooding throughout the Auckland area.

"7.19pm: Auckland Airport has been forced to reduce runway operations "after an arriving aircraft damaged runway lighting", a spokesperson for the airport told 1News."This is largely impacting international arrivals and departures and larger aircraft travelling domestically. Our operational teams have cleared the debris and are now assessing the damage.

"We apologise to any travellers impacted. Please contact your airline or check your airline travel app if you are travelling for any flight cancellations or delays.""

Air NZ 777 Loss of control

Quite a serious incident for Air NZ by the looks of it.


AO-2023-003 Boeing 777, loss of control on the ground, Auckland International Airport, 27 January 2023
Status
Current
Occurrence Date
27 Jan 2023
Jurisdiction
NZ
The reported circumstances were that a New Zealand-registered Boeing 777 was on a scheduled flight (NZ124) from Melbourne to Auckland. The aircraft landed at about 6:50pm at Auckland International Airport during wind gusts and very heavy rain.

Shortly after touchdown, the pilot briefly lost directional control and the aircraft veered away from the runway centreline. The pilot regained control, completed the landing, and taxied the aircraft to the airport terminal.
There was damage reported to six runway edge lights and to the aircraft’s undercarriage assembly, including deflation of one tyre.

No injuries to passengers or crew were reported.

Sounds similar to a Qatar 777 incident that occurred in Brisbane in similar weather.

This may explain the 777 incident - all happens very fast!

Any delays in processing passengers? The infrastructure for the planes is going to be designed to withstand any weather. Not so much the people processing gear. I would have thought that would take more time to get up and running after a flood.

Yes - the common user check in and baggage systems have become degraded and are unlikely to be back to "normal" until next week
