- Date: November 20, 1992
- Aircraft: Boeing 737-200
- Location: San Luis, San Luis, Argentina
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Failure of the right main gear tyres during the takeoff roll led to a rejected takeoff and overrun; a short schedule that did not allow wheel cooling was a contributing factor.
An Aerolineas Argentinas Boeing 737-200 on a night takeoff from San Luis lost two tyres on its right main gear during the takeoff roll. The crew rejected the takeoff, but the aircraft overran the runway, lost its undercarriage and caught fire. All 113 occupants evacuated safely.
