PK222 - Incident: PIA A320 at Dubai on Sep 30th 2024

A PIA Pakistan International Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration AP-BLY performing flight PK-222 from Dubai (United Arab Emirates) to Multan (Pakistan) with 172 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff from Dubai's runway 12R when the crew rejected takeoff at about 80 KIAS due to the right hand engine (CFM56) indicating excess EGT. The aircraft slowed safely and attempted to return to the apron, however, two main tyres (#2 and #3) deflated.

The flight was cancelled.

The airline reported the aircraft was accelerating down the runway when an engine malfunction prompted the crew to reject takeoff using the emergency brakes causing all tyres to burst due to the sudden stop.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Dubai about 50 hours after the rejected takeoff.
