What happened
On Monday, 18 September 2023, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner operated by Bamboo Airways encountered a runway overrun during takeoff from Melbourne-Tullamarine Airport in Victoria. The aircraft was departing on runway 34, which was operating under a temporarily shortened configuration due to ongoing airport works.
During the takeoff roll, the aircraft rotated past the displaced threshold and generated a significant jet blast that affected the immediate vicinity of the runway. No injuries were reported among the occupants or persons on the ground. The incident occurred just eleven days after a similar runway overrun event involving an Airbus A330 at the same airport under comparable circumstances.
