EK449 departs AKL with INOP NAV lights

Good morning,

Firstly, i was unsure whether which thread to place this question in. Apologies in advance.

Now, EK449 departed AKL on the 13th back to DXB on A380 with 467PAX onboard with INOP NAV lights.

At first, it seemed like it wasnt a big deal, but considering that the AC will operate the entire way back to DXB under moon light, it seemed more relavant than it seemed at first - as it indicates starboard and port side for surrounding traffic.

So, who is ultimately authorised to certify the ACs airworthyness with INOP NAV lights and do oncoming traffic need to be informed as such?
