- Date: June 6, 2016
- Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas MD-11
- Location: Seoul-Incheon, Incheon, South Korea
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: ARAIB (Korea): the crew's decision to abandon the takeoff slightly above V1 after the tyre failures, with limited time and information, instability of the central landing gear, and about 48 percent loss of braking performance from a ruptured hydraulic pipe on the primary braking system.
On 6 June 2016 a UPS McDonnell Douglas MD11F (N277UP) was taking off from runway 33L at Seoul Incheon for Anchorage when tyres 9 and 10 on the central landing gear failed at about V1. The captain rejected the takeoff, but the aircraft could not stop within the remaining runway, overran onto grass, and its nose gear collapsed after it struck localizer equipment about 485 metres beyond the runway end. All four crew escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
