Air New Zealand flight NZ272, an Airbus A321-271NX, suffered a hard touchdown during a go-around at Wellington Airport.
According to the airline, the aircraft experienced windshear on final approach to runway 34. A go around was executed, during which the aircraft touched down on the main wheels before climbing away.
The flight then diverted to Auckland.
In a video of the incident the rear fuselage appeared to strike the runway, but an Air NZ spokesperson said an inspection of the aircraft confirmed there was no tail contact.
