[flee 5]

An Emirates Boeing 777-300ER, registration A6-EBN performing flight EK-433 from Singapore (Singapore) to Dubai (United Arab Emirates), was accelerating for takeoff from Singapore's runway 02L when a loud bang was heard followed by the crew rejecting takeoff at low speed. The aircraft stopped on the runway about 1200 meters/4000 feet down the runway. Following an inspection by emergency services the aircraft returned to the apron.

A passenger reported a loud bang was heard while the aircraft accelerated for takeoff, the aircraft started to slow immediately after. They were later told an engine (GE90) had blown. They were rebooked onto the next day's flight and were taken to a hotel.
