Incident: Korean A332 at Seoul on May 5th 2016, runway incursion forces SQ-16 to reject takeoff
A Korean Air Airbus A330-200, registration HL8276 performing flight KE-929 from Seoul Incheon (South Korea) to Saint Petersburg (Russia), was taxiing for departure from one of the runways 15 but unexpectedly joined taxiway G crossing runway 15R at the end and taxied past the hold short line.
A Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-300, registration 9V-SWP performing flight SQ-16 from Seoul Incheon (South Korea) to San Francisco,CA (USA), had been cleared for takeoff from runway 15R and was accelerating for takeoff at 18:07L (09:07Z) when tower cancelled the takeoff clearance due to the Korean Airlines aircraft taxiing onto the runway. The Singapore crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 105 knots over ground) and slowed the aircraft to taxi speed about 2100 meters/6900 feet down the runway, about 1560 meters/5100 feet short of intersection with taxiway G, vacated the runway via taxiway C2 and joined taxiway A to return to the holding point runway 15R.
The Korean A330 was subsequently instructed to taxi onto runway 33L/15R and turn off the runway again via the next taxiway B1 and joined taxiway B to taxi to holding point runway 15R but subsequently returned to the apron.
While 9V-SWP attempted to return to the holding point runway 15R via taxiway A a number of main tyres deflated about 270 meters from the runway threshold and disabled the aircraft.
Flight KE-929 departed Incheon about 100 minutes after the runway incursion.
Following repairs 9V-SWP was able to depart for flight SQ-9016 (SQ-16 delayed) about 19 hours after rejecting takeoff.
