Sunwing B738 at Montreal on Jan 10th 2014, rejected takeoff

A Sunwing Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration C-FYLC performing flight WG-434 from Montreal,QC (Canada) to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) with 160 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff from Montreal's runway 06R when at about 90 knots a bang occurred associated with a slight left yaw. The crew continued takeoff but at 130 knots another bang was heard with a pronounced left yaw. The crew rejected takeoff and slowed safely reporting to ATC that they suspected a tyre problem and advised a runway inspection would be good.

A runway inspection did not find any debris.

The Canadian TSB reported that the left hand engine (CFM56) was removed from the aircraft for repairs.

A replacement Travel Service Boeing 737-800 registration OK-TVS, leased out to Sunwing, reached Punta Cana with a delay of 6:45 hours.
