An Air New Zealand plane aborted its landing after appearing to strike its tail on the runway at Wellington Airport.
Footage of the flight NZ272 shows the plane landing and suddenly pulling up with smoke billowing in the tail area of the plane.
But the airline says despite whatsome might consider contact with the tail on the runaway, that did not occur.
Air New Zealand head of flight operations Captain Hugh Pearce confirmed the flight from Brisbane to Wellington on Thursday afternoon experienced wind shear just before touchdown.
“When the wind shear occurred, the standard procedure of initiating a go-around was executed with the main wheels touching the runway in the process.
“Aircraft data has also been sent to Airbus to analyse and advise if there is anything else our maintenance team needs to do before the aircraft can be returned to service,” Pearce said.
Pearce said it was a rare situation but the crew was trained to respond to it.
Pearce confirmed all customers onboard were re-accommodated.
