According to information The Aviation Herald received, the aircraft encountered windshear on short final, touched down at 2.9G causing the fuselage to wrinkle, and struck its tail onto the runway surface.
The airline later reported that an inspection of the aircraft did not show evidence of a tail contact with the ground. The flight data have been sent to Airbus to determine what maintenance actions are needed before the aircraft can return to service.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Auckland about 32 hours after landing.
