Cathay Pacific reported that eleven passengers were hurt on aircraft CX880 when the airline aborted takeoff because of a technical problem early on Saturday morning at Hong Kong’s international airport.
In a statement, Cathay Pacific said, “The aircraft from Hong Kong to Los Angeles included 17 crew members and 293 passengers. It carried out an aborted takeoff in accordance with standard procedures after a technical issue was detected by the crew”.
According to Cathay, the injuries occurred during a precautionary evacuation back at the gate, when passengers fled the aircraft using five-door escape slides.
“Nine of the eleven passengers who received medical treatment at hospitals have been discharged”, the statement continued.
“Our coworkers will continue to assist the two hospitalized passengers and their families”, the statement added.
Cathay sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused to customers.
According to police, one of the plane’s tires overheated and exploded.
