A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration 9M-MXK performing flight MH-79 from Hong Kong (China) to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), was accelerating for takeoff from Hong Kong's runway 07R when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed (about 60 knots over ground) due to a burst tyre. The aircraft slowed safely, vacated the runway and stopped on the parallel taxiway for inspection by emergency services before returning to the apron about 30 minutes later.

The flight was cancelled.
