On 12 May, a Tibet Airlines Airbus A319 (registered B-6425) operated domestic flight TV9833 between Chongqing and Nyingchi, China. During take-off, however, the pilots felt an abnormality and aborted the procedure. The aircraft veered off the runway, leading to an engine scrape and a subsequent fire.
An emergency evacuation then started to evacuate 113 passengers and 9 crew members, while emergency services rushed to the aircraft.
Chinese civil aviation authorities said that 36 people suffered bruises and sprains and were sent to a local hospital.
The aircraft, an Airbus A319, was a 9-year-old aircraft.
Tibet Airlines is a regional airline based in Lhasa. It has a fleet of 39 aircraft, including 28 A319s, according to Airfleets.net.
