Tibet Airlines Flight 9833 was a scheduled commercial passenger flight in China from Chongqing to Nyingchi by Tibet Airlines. On 12 May 2022, the A319-100 aircraft operating the service suffered a runway excursion, causing both engines to separate, followed by a fire near the front of the aircraft.[3] 36 people were injured during the evacuation.[2][4][5]
Incident
During the aircraft's takeoff roll on runway 03/21,[6] the pilots experienced an "abnormality" and aborted the takeoff. The plane veered off the runway, its engines detaching in the process. The engines, as well as the front of the aircraft, subsequently caught on fire. All 122 passengers and crew evacuated with 36 of them suffering minor injuries.[7]
Aircraft
The aircraft involved in the accident is an Airbus A319-100 with the registration of B-6425 and serial number 5157. It was delivered to Tibet Airlines on 23 November 2012. The plane was equipped with CFM56 engines[8] and had Sharklets fitted in December 2018.
