A Mahan Air Boeing 747-300, registration EP-MNE performing Hajj flight W5-5070 from Kerman (Iran) to Madinah (Saudi Arabia) with 419 passengers and 25 crew, was accelerating for takeoff from Kerman's runway 34 when a problem with one of the engines (CF6) prompted the crew to reject takeoff at high speed just below V1. The aircraft overran the end of the runway and came to a stop about 170 meters past the end of the runway with a number of main gear tyres deflated. 10 passengers received minor injuries.

Kerman's ILS system runway 34 needed to be temporarily taken out of service as result of the overrun.

The runway 16/34 was initially closed and later returned to service with a displaced threshold runway 16 before the aircraft was moved back onto paved surface and onto runway 05/23, where it is currently parked. Runway and ILS were returned to full service at that point.
