Cathay Pacific flight CX880, a Boeing 777-367ER, had taxied back to the apron at HKG following an aborted takeoff on runway 07R when an evacuation was carried out. Preliminary investigation has revealed that the flight rejected takeoff at 00:22 local time due to a discrepancy with the airspeed indication in the flight deck. The rejected take-off (RTO) was initiated by the captain at 145 kts, which was below the V1 speed of 164 kts. As the aircraft taxied back to its parking stand, the crew observed an increasing temperature in the left and right main landing gear brakes, accompanied by progressive deflation of the tires. While waiting for the airbridge to connect to the aircraft, an explosive sound was heard and severe vibration were felt by the occupants on board. Concurrently, the crew observed a fire at the left main landing gear (aft position) via the Ground Maneuver Camera System (GMCS). Passenger evacuation was initiated via five aircraft emergency slides and the airbridge subsequently connected to the L1 door. Eleven passengers were injured during the evacuation, including 2 passengers who were seriously injured and required hospitalisation. The aircraft resumed regular service on 24 July 2023.
