Narrative:
Edelweiss flight WK298, an Airbus A320-214, aborted the takeoff from runway 32 at Zurich International Airport.
One of the tires on the left-hand main gear deflated as a result.
The reason for the aborted takeoff was that “The plane exhibited unusual behavior on the runway,” according to an airline spokesperson.
A video, purportedly of the incident, shows the aircraft swung to the left during the takeoff roll before directional control was regained.
