A large passenger jet of China's Eastern Airlines skidded across the tarmac on landing at Sydney International Airport Wednesday, coming to rest on a grass verge alongside the runway.
No-one was injured in the incident, according to police at the scene.
Authorities are examining the possibility that the nose wheel of the airbus failed to drop or that a tyre blew out, the police said.
It was understood the flight, CA 175, had been scheduled to fly on to Auckland.
