A Cathay Pacific Airbus A340-300, registration B-HXD performing flight CX-198 from Auckland (New Zealand) to Hong Kong (China) with 244 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff from Auckland's runway 23L when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 90 knots over ground) due to a problem with the #3 engine (CFM56, inboard right hand). The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.

Passengers disembarked while maintenance was carried out and boarded again about 5 hours later, the aircraft accelerated for takeoff from runway 23L a second time when the crew again rejected takeoff at high speed (about 90 knots over ground) due to a problem with the #3 engine. The aircraft returned to the apron.

The airline confirmed takeoff was rejected twice due to a problem with the #3 engine. The passengers were rebooked onto other flights or the next day's flight CX-198.
