An Etihad plane travelling from Melbourne to Abu Dhabi had to abort its take-off amid “technical reasons”, with emergency crews attending as a precaution.
In a post to X overnight, Etihad Airways said:
Our flight EY461 from Melbourne has been delayed, following a rejected take-off. The flight crew decided to reject the take-off for technical reasons and emergency services attended as a precaution. The safety and comfort of our guests and crew remains our highest priority.
The first thing the captain said to us after we stopped was that we experienced “engine [exceedance]” on the right side, and that the fire trucks were coming because the brakes were very hot … He later said two tyres were flat. We got towed for a short bit before we had to stop as the flat tyres were damaging the runway.
Just the slightest bit of information might be Kenough to track down the missing dolls.
