Hawaiian Airlines Aborts LAX Takeoff Due to Nose Wheel

Hawaiian Airlines Flight 33, bound for Kahului Airport, aborted takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport due to a vibration in the nose wheel, causing smoke to billow from the plane. The incident, which occurred on the morning of April 11, 2025, involved a high-speed rejected takeoff as the Airbus A330 was accelerating. Passengers safely disembarked at the gate while mechanics resolved the issue, and the flight departed roughly four hours later. Hawaiian Airlines emphasized the safety of their guests and employees, apologizing for the inconvenience, while the FAA announced an investigation into the event. The plane eventually landed at its destination in Maui without further issues. This incident follows a series of recent aviation challenges, including a lawsuit against American Airlines over a previous fire-related incident.
