Eleven people were injured after a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong’s international airport was forced to abort takeoff and evacuate its passengers due to a technical issue.
The incident took place a little after midnight on Saturday, when flight CX880 bound for Los Angeles was carrying 17 crew and 293 passengers. It performed “an aborted takeoff in accordance with standard procedures after a technical issue was detected by the crew”, Cathay Pacific said in a statement.
