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]

It found that the accident was caused by crew error. The CAAC imposed a CN¥  900,000 fine on Tibet Airlines and fined the company's leadership: The two executives primarily responsible were fined 40% of their 2021 income, while three others responsible were fined 30% of their 2021 income.
