Bit of a freaky incident reported at Sydney:
Incident: Emirates A388 at Sydney on Jan 6th 2012, runway incursion
An Emirates Airlines Airbus A380-800, registration A6-EDN performing flight EK-412 from Sydney,NS (Australia) to Auckland (New Zealand), had been cleared to taxi for departure via taxiway G and A however missed the turn onto taxiway A and went past the hold short line of runway 16R at about 09:26L (22:26Z Jan 5th).
A JAL Japan Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration JA711J performing flight JL-772 from Sydney,NS (Australia) to Tokyo Narita (Japan), had been cleared for takeoff from runway 16R and was accelerating for takeoff, when the A380 went past the hold short line, and rejected takeoff at low speed coming to a stop before the intersection with taxiway G.
A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 747-400, registration 9M-MPB performing flight MH-123 from Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) to Sydney,NS (Australia), was on final approach to Sydney's runway 16R and went around from low height due to the rejected takeoff and the Boeing 777 on the runway, repositioned for another approach and landed safely about 15 minutes later.
