An Edelweiss Airbus A320-200, registration HB-JJN performing flight WK-356 from Zurich (Switzerland) to Kos (Greece) with 166 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff from Zurich's runway 28 when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed (about 70 knots over ground). Tower advised the crew, before the crew even reported they were stopping, that there was no smoke or fire visible and dispatched emergency services, only then the crew reported they were stopping on the runway. The aircraft stopped on the runway while emergency services responded. About 3 minutes later the crew advised they were ready to vacate the runway, then taxied forward along the runway to taxiway J and vacated the runway and stopped again clear of the runway. Another about 20 minutes later the aircraft returned to the apron.

Passengers reported there were some unusual sounds while the aircraft accelerated, then the aircraft stopped.

The airline reported the crew received warning messages for both engines (CFM56) prompting the crew to reject takeoff.

A replacement A320-200 registration HB-IJU reached Kos with a delay of about 3.5 hours.
