On 5 August 2016, a Ukrainian International Airlines Boeing 737-300 UR-GBD operating flight PS34 from Lviv (UKLL) to Kiev (UKBB) rejected takeoff and returned to the apron. The flight was subsequently cancelled.
In September 2016, the Ukrainian NBAAI stated that UIA had reported that the takeoff had been rejected due to "change the front desk handling", further writing that the airline had failed to accurately disclose what the issue was. It was reported that the issue was a result of the NBAAI requiring reports to be submitted in the Ukrainian language only, despite the significant number of Russian speakers in the country. The report submitted to the NBAAI was allegedly submitted using machine translation to convert the report from Russian to Ukrainian, with the actual meaning of the report being lost in translation.
It was assumed that an issue with the nose landing gear steering was suggested, but investigators could not find any issues in this regard.
As a result, the NBAAI concluded that a meaningful investigation could not be completed. The NBAAI recommended to the Ukrainian Civil Aviation Authority to ensure that operators provide accurate information when submitting accident/incident reports.
