The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released its final report on the aborted takeoff of a Delta Air Lines Boeing 757-300 at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) on January 10, 2025. The takeoff was aborted due to a failure of engine number two.

Following the rejected takeoff, the captain requested Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) assistance, and the crew initiated the engine failure checklist. NTSB investigators later learned that an airport operations vehicle reported flames coming from the right engine, even though the cockpit showed no indication of an engine fire.
