A DHL Aero Expreso Boeing 767-300 freighter, registration HP-3310DAE performing flight D5-926 from Bogota (Colombia) to Miami,FL (USA), was accelerating for takeoff from Bogota's runway 14R when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 160 knots over ground). The aircraft slowed safely and vacated the runway but then became disabled due to deflating left and right hand main gear tyres. The cargo was unloaded onto the taxiway before the aircraft could be towed.
A replacement Boeing 767-300 registration HP-3610DAE took the cargo to Miami reaching the destination with a delay of about 11 hours.
Colombia's DIACC reported they have opened an investigation into the occurrence stating a cargo aircraft rejected takeoff apparently due to a technical discrepancy.
The occurrence aircraft returned to service on Dec 12th 2024.
On Jan 13th 2025 the DIACC released their preliminary report in Spanish only stating that the crew received a "L ENG PRV" (left engine pressure regulation valve, CF6) indication at about 140 KIAS when they rejected takeoff. The aircraft vacated the runway and came to a stop on taxiway K6 where 7 tyres deflated disabling the aircraft.
