The runway surface was new, not yet grooved, with a rubber deposit and wet, so the runway surface condition is likely to have played a role.

However, the runway had been re-opened a fortnight or so ago, and it had been raining for the last few days.

So it seems unlikely this was the first A320 landing in exactly those conditions. In other words, there must have been concomitant factors.
