An Azur Air Boeing 767-300, registration VQ-BSY performing flight ZF-9633 from Ekaterinburg (Russia) to Phuket (Thailand) with 335 passengers and 10 crew, was accelerating for takeoff from Ekaterinburg's runway 26R at 01:01L (20:01Z Dec 20th) when the crew heard a bang from the right hand side and observed abnormal right hand engine (CF6) readings and rejected takeoff at high speed (about 145 knots over ground). The aircraft slowed but overran the end of the runway by about 20 meters and became disabled. The passengers disembarked normally and were bussed to the terminal.

The airport was closed for about 3.5 hours until the aircraft was towed back to the apron.

A replacement Boeing 767-300 registration VP-BXW positioned from Moscow to Ekaterinburg and departed for flight ZF-9633 with a delay of 10.5 hours.

Ural's Transport Investigation Office opened an investigation.
