A Batik Air Airbus A320-200, registration PK-BKF performing flight
ID-6236 from Jakarta to Makassar (Indonesia) with 131 passengers and 6 crew, was accelerating for takeoff from Jakarta's runway 25R when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 150 knots over ground). The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.
A replacement A320-200 registration PK-LUR reached Makassar with a delay of 3.5 hours.
The airline reported in ensuring the safety of the flight the pilot decided to cancel the departure (rejected takeoff/RTO) when the engine speed was still low. The crew saw an indicator light suggesting one of the aircraft components needed further checking and returned the aircraft to the apron.
Passengers reported the aircraft was accelerating for takeoff about to begin rotation, when the brakes came on and the aircraft rapidly slowed down again.
ADS-B data show the aircraft was accelerating for takeoff from runway 25R rejecting takeoff at about 150 knots over ground, then vacated the runway via the second high speed turn off (about 1100 meters of runway remaining) and returned to the apron.
