A Swiss International Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration HB-IJM performing flight LX-1954 from Zurich (Switzerland) to Barcelona,SP (Spain), was accelerating on Zurich's runway 28 when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed, the aircraft vacated the runway. The crew told tower, they had a wrong indication on the FMS and needed to reset the FMS. The aircraft subsequently returned to the hold short position, departed about 15 minutes later and reached Barcelona without further incident.

A passenger reported: "The Airbus 320, registration HB-IJM, was already accelerating when suddenly the thrust was abruptly reduced and the aircraft was braked. This sounded rather strange and was almost alarming. After a short pause, the jet moved away from the runway under its own power and remained there for a while. Among the passengers, we heard speculation that perhaps a tire had burst or an engine was defective. The captain then explained that he had aborted the takeoff due to a warning or message on his screen and would now perform a system restart. After about 10 minutes, the captain announced again that everything was fine and they could now take off. The rest of the flight was uneventful."
