<<and if in case of aborted landing are they given any preference by ATC....>>

Unless there is a fuel problem, not usually. They're just fed back into the approach sequence and usually land about 10 minutes later..

A pilot will, I am sure, provide factual information... but the engines are throttled right back on landing. If the engines were wound up the aircraft would go off the end of the runway!
