An Air Horizont Boeing 737-400, registration 9H-MPW performing flight HAT-2771 from Braunschweig (Germany) to London Stansted,EN (UK), was accelerating for takeoff from Braunschweig's runway 26 when the crew rejected takeoff, vacated the runway and returned to the apron. Emergency services responded and inspected the aircraft.

A ground observer reported the aircraft apparently suffered engine (CFM56) problems at about the midpoint of the runway (length 2300 meters/7500 feet) and rejected takeoff. The aircraft returned to the apron and was inspected by emergency services.

Another ground observer reported the left hand engine emitted smoke and failed possibly as result of a bird strike, engine parts were subsequently found on the runway.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Braunschweig about 21 hours after the rejected takeoff.
