An Airbus A330 operated by Malaysia Airlines was forced to abort its take-off at Narita Airport near Tokyo on Thursday morning due to an issue with the aircraft, according to Kyodo News. The incident occurred around 10:40 am local time when black smoke was reportedly observed emanating from the plane's left engine as it moved onto a runway.
The transport ministry confirmed that among the 160 crew and passengers on board, no one was injured. Operating as Flight 89, the plane had to be stopped, leading to the closure of the runway for approximately two and a half hours. The airport's fire department received a report at around the same time of the smoke, and footage showed the aircraft parked on the runway by 11 a.m., with firefighters and ambulances present to manage the situation.
