An ANZ Air New Zealand Boeing 787-9, registration ZK-NZE performing flight NZ-993 from Apia (Samoa) to Auckland (New Zealand), was accelerating for takeoff from Apia's runway 26 in heavy rain when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed. The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.
Passengers reported the crew repeatedly advised the aircraft was being checked but did not explain, why the takeoff was rejected. They were told during the two hours on the ground however, that the brakes had overheated and engineers were checking the aircraft.
The aircraft was able to depart about two hours later and reached Auckland with a delay of about 1:45 hours.
