Several passengers were injured when a Swiss International Air Lines flight aborted its takeoff at an airport in India, the airline confirmed.

Swiss International reported the incident involving one of its aircraft, though the airline has not yet disclosed the specific airport location or the total number of passengers affected. The nature and severity of the injuries sustained by passengers also remain unclear.

The circumstances that led to the aborted takeoff have not been detailed by the airline or aviation authorities. Swiss International has not provided information about whether the incident was related to mechanical issues, weather conditions, or other factors.

Aborted takeoffs, while uncommon, can occur for various safety reasons including engine problems, tire issues, or obstacles on the runway. Airlines are required to immediately halt takeoff procedures when pilots or air traffic controllers identify potential safety concerns.

Swiss International Air Lines operates regular flights between Switzerland and several Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore. The airline has not announced any immediate changes to its Indian flight schedule following the incident.
