IA2013 - Incident: Iraqi B738 at Baghdad on Dec 4th 2022

An Iraqi Airways Boeing 737-800, registration YI-ASV performing flight IA-2013 from Baghdad (Iraq) to Madinah (Saudi Arabia), was accelerating for takeoff from Baghdad's runway 15L when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 146 knots over ground). The aircraft slowed and came to a stop on the runway and was disabled due to all main gear tyres being blown.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Baghdad about 3 days later.

Another Iraqi Airways Airbus A330-200 registration YI-AQY departed to Madinah as flight IA-2017 about 17 hours after the rejected takeoff of YI-ASV.
