Air Tahiti flight VT384, an ATR 72-600, suffered a temporary runway excursion during landing at Huahine Airport.
The crew encountered a strong crosswind as well as a wet runway and the combined effect of the two caused the aircraft on touchdown to swerve to the right and slightly veer off the runway approximately a meter, according to the airline.
