The aircraft skidded to the right momentarily after touch down but got back to the center line thereafter

An Air India Express flight from Dubai to Mangalore 'momentarily' skidded off the runway due to poor weather conditions, according to Indian media outlets.

The pilots of the flight - IX814 - were able to bring the Boeing 737 back to the runway's centre line after it skidded. No damage to the plane was reported, and none of the passengers were injured. The Times of India reports that several runway lights were broken in the incident.

The flight was reportedly carrying 185 people - including two infants - when the incident took place.

"Just as the aircraft was about to touch down, there was sudden gust of wind and heavy rain. The aircraft skidded to the right momentarily after touch down but got back to the center line thereafter," Air India Express CEO Shyam Sundar was quoted as saying by TOI. "There was no discomfort or injury to any passenger. Post arrival inspection of the aircraft revealed no damages."
