Jakarta Globe, Amir Tejo, February 13, 2010
A Batavia Air flight aborted its takeoff from Surabaya's Juanda Airport on Saturday after one of the plane's tires burst.
"When the plane reached the end of runway 10, its left tire burst. Pilot Karyana decided to cancel the takeoff," said airport spokesman Firstson Mansyur.
There were no injuries, but flight 7P735 from Surabaya to Makassar was canceled and the airport remained closed until the plane was emptied of passengers. Airport officials said other flights would be delayed.
