A Gol Transportes Aereos Boeing 737-800, registration PR-GXH performing flight G3-2040 from Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont,RJ to Porto Alegre,RS (Brazil), was accelerating for takeoff from Santos Dumont's runway 20L when the right hand engine (CFM56) experienced a number of engine surges in rapid succession prompting the crew to reject takeoff at low speed (below 20 knots over ground) and return to the apron.

The flight was cancelled.

The aircraft is still on the ground at Santos Dumont about 11 hours after the rejected takeoff.

Brazil's CENIPA reported the crew heard a rumble and saw an overtemperature indication after applying power for the takeoff run and rejected takeoff.
