On 27 January 2023 a Boeing 777 aircraft registered ZK-OKN, was conducting a scheduled passenger flight from Melbourne, Australia to Auckland, New Zealand. Shortly after touchdown at Auckland airport, the aircraft briefly lost directional control and the aircraft veered away from the runway centreline. There was damage reported to six runway edge lights and to the aircraft’s undercarriage assembly, including deflation of one tyre, there were no injuries to passengers or crew.
The Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) has requested assistance from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) to download the aircraft’s cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) to assist their investigation.
To facilitate this support and to provide the appropriate protections for the information, the ATSB appointed an accredited representative in accordance with paragraph 5.23 of ICAO Annex 13 and commenced an investigation under the Australian Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003.
The New Zealand TAIC is responsible for the investigation and release of the final investigation report regarding this accident. Any enquiries regarding the investigation should be addressed to the TAIC at the contact details listed below:
