Eleven people were injured on Cathay Pacific's flight CX880 at Hong Kong's international airport after the carrier aborted take-off due to a technical issue.

The flight from Hong Kong to Los Angeles was carrying 17 crew and 293 passengers.

It performed "an aborted take-off in accordance with standard procedures after a technical issue was detected by the crew," the airline said in a statement.

The injuries occurred during a precautionary evacuation back at the gate, when passengers exited the aircraft using five door escape slides.

"Nine of the eleven passengers who received treatment at hospitals have been discharged," the statement continued.

"Our colleagues will continue to provide support to the two hospitalised passengers and their families."

Cathay said it sincerely apologised for the disruption to customers.

One of the plane's tyres overheated causing it to burst, public broadcaster RTHK reported, citing police.
