An Avior Airlines Boeing 737-400, registration YV3243 performing flight 9V-1220 from Barcelona (Venezuela) to Miami,FL (USA), was accelerating for takeoff from Barcelona when both right main tyres burst prompting the crew to reject takeoff at high speed. The aircraft came to a stop about 400 meters short of the runway end (length 3000 meters) and was disabled.

Maintenance replaced the wheels prior to towing the aircraft off the runway.

A replacement Boeing 737-400 registration YV3012 reached Miami with a delay of 4.5 hours.

Media in Venezuela are complaining about the "deplorable state" of Barcelona Airport and quote Avior stating, that an A340-300 has been acquired, is already in the colours of Avior waiting for being used, but can not be used on the route Barcelona-Miami as planned due to the runway condition forcing the airline to continue operating the route with their Boeing 737-400s.
