Heard that GMG had a very high speed RTO recently and subsequent brake fire.Aircraft nearly totalled, now they have no fleet due other 767 in C check.Anybody have further details on this accident?

GMG had a RTO going over to Jeddah on their recently leased 767. It caused some tires to thermal, and there was a subsequent brake fire. The tires arnd brakes had to be changed. GMG is still operating the other 767, but for the next few days there will some cancellations. What is hurting the company is the lack of a serious engineering department, ex-pats are generally putting their foot down on the dodgy mx decisions. Parts are not being sourced, items are dmi-ed, and not addressed. Eventually it catches up.

The rejected takeoff was caused when the first officers window was found open during the takeoff roll.
