A THY Turkish Airlines Airbus A340-300, registration TC-JDJ performing flight TK-68 from Istanbul Ataturk (Turkey) to Bangkok (Thailand), was accelerating for takeoff on Istanbul's runway 35L when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed (about 25 knots over ground) due to an indication of a brakes system failure. The aircraft taxied along the runway upon instruction by ATC and vacated the runway via exit A3 about 1700 meters down the runway and taxied to the apron.

Following repairs the aircraft was able to depart about 3.5 hours later and reached Bangkok with a delay of 3 hours.
