A Vietnam Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration VN-A392 performing flight VN-920 from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) to Phnom Penh (Cambodia), was accelerating for takeoff from Ho Chi Minh City's runway 25L when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed due to a burst nose tyre. The aircraft came to a stop about 1600 meters/5250 feet down the runway. Emergency services responded, not only because of the rejected takeoff but also because of a large smoke plume rising from the grass at the right side of the runway. Emergency services put the grass fire out within about 10 minutes. The passengers disembarked onto the runway via mobile stairs and were taken to the terminal, the aircraft was subsequently towed to the apron.

The airline reported there was a technical issue with one of the nose wheel tyres, there was no fire or explosion on the aircraft. The crew rejected takeoff and stopped safely. There were no injuries.

Vietnam's Civil Aviation Authority reported a part of the tyre impacted and damaged the side of the right hand engine's (V2533) cover, which in turn caused the grass fire. The CAA have opened an investigation into the occurrence.
