SWISS A330 engine fire aborts takeoff in Delhi; 6 injured during runway evacuation

A SWISS A330-300 bound for Zurich was forced to reject takeoff at Indira Gandhi International Airport after an engine fire and an engine-related failure. The crew aborted the departure, stopped on the runway, and evacuated 228 passengers (including four infants) via emergency slides; six people were injured.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Highlights the operational and passenger-safety risks of takeoff-reject scenarios: crews must manage engine-fire indications, high-speed aborts, and rapid slide evacuations on active runways.
Adds another A330 takeoff-and-fire incident to the industry’s safety context, following prior A330 engine failure/fire events such as Delta’s A330-300 return after left-engine failure and fire.
Reinforces the need for robust procedures and readiness at major hubs for high-tempo evacuations, similar to other engine-failure evacuations seen in cases like JetBlue’s A320 engine-failure return to Newark with slide evacuation.
