A SAA Express de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration ZS-YBP performing flight XZ-1012/SA-1012 from Bloemfontein to Johannesburg (South Africa), was accelerating for takeoff from Bloemfontein when the left hand engine (PW150) emitted a loud noise and strong vibrations and the inter turbine temperature rose to about 900 degrees C beyond limits prompting the crew to reject takeoff at about 60 knots. The engine was subsequently shut down.

The flight was cancelled.

The incident aircraft had suffered another very similiar occurrence just one month earlier, see: Incident: SA Express DH8D at Johannesburg on Mar 9th 2014, rejected takeoff.
