An Etihad Airways flight (EY461) bound for Abu Dhabi aborted take-off at Melbourne Airport on January 5 after smoke was observed under the Boeing 787-9 registered A6-BLN. The plane, carrying 271 passengers, was brought to a safe stop on the runway.
Emergency services attended as a precaution, applying foam to two deflated tyres.
All passengers disembarked safely, and the airline is assisting with onward travel. Etihad apologised for the inconvenience, emphasising that safety is their top priority.
