Smoke billows on LAX runway after flight aborts takeoff over 'unstable nose wheel'
Briefly

The FAA is conducting an investigation after Hawaiian Airlines Flight 33 aborted its takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport due to concerns over an 'unstable' nose wheel. The incident occurred on April 11, 2025, when the aircraft experienced vibration leading the pilots to return to the gate for safety. Despite the emergency, passengers were safely deplaned and the issue was resolved. The aircraft subsequently departed later in the day, with safety being cited as a priority by the airline.
"The safety of our employees and guests is our priority, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience," according to a statement from Hawaiian Airlines.
As a precaution, the pilots returned to the gate, where the Airbus A330, bound for Kahului Airport in Hawaii, arrived without incident.
