A Myanmar National Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration XY-ALV performing flight UB-812 from Mandalay to Yangon (Myanmar) with 143 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff from Mandalay when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed due to some grinding noise from the landing gear. The aircraft subsequently attempted a second takeoff but needed to reject takeoff again. Emergency services responded and needed to extinguish a small brakes fire. A tyre was found burst. The passengers disembarked via stairs onto the runway.

The aircraft returned to service about 20 hours later.
