Narrative:
SriLankan Airlines flight UL167, an Airbus A330-343, suffered a hard landing at Cochin International Airport. While landing on runway 27, the aircraft’s right-hand Main Landing Gear (MLG) touched down on the unpaved surface and longitudinally ran over a distance of approx. 420 metres in the same direction and entered the runway.

The aircraft taxied on its own power to the designated parking stand number 22 safely. The aircraft damaged two runway edge lights while re-entering the runway.

Lapses in the Decision Making by the Pilot Monitoring to land under deteriorated weather condition & inadequate landing maneuvers carried out by the Pilot Flying to correct the deviation of the aircraft in the last 50ft to touchdown was the probable cause of the incident and weather was a contributory factor.
