The airline reported the aircraft contacted a number of runway edge lights and damaged them.

According to the NOTAMs indicating the edge lights between taxiways A8 and A9 were damaged and the ADS-B data transmitted by the aircraft the aircraft contacted the right hand edge lights.

The airport reported the runway lights were repaired by about 21:30L, but shortly afterwards the airport became flooded due to torrential rains and needed to be evacuated.

On Jan 29th 2023 New Zealand's TAIC (Transport Accident Investigation Commission) reported they are investigating the loss of control on the ground stating: "The aircraft landed at about 6:50pm at Auckland International Airport during wind gusts and very heavy rain. Shortly after touchdown, the aircraft briefly lost directional control, veered away from the runway centreline, 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."
