0.10 %The New York-bound Boeing 767 developed technical fault during take-off in Senegal, forcing the pilot to manoeuvre for a halt, authorities said.
The pilot was able to bring the plane, which carried 216 passengers, to a safe stop and no injuries were recorded, the ministry said in a statement.
"The plane, during takeoff, performed an acceleration manoeuvre followed by an emergency stop due to a technical incident," it said.
The incident occurred a day after the US Federal Aviation Administration said it would open a new safety review into Boeing following an in-flight emergency in January.
Senegal's national civil aviation agency and its Bureau of Investigations and Analysis will investigate the incident, it said.
