Incident Overview
On March 16, 2007, at 0520 UTC, Alaska Airlines Flight 677 (ASA677) initiated a rejected takeoff while attempting to depart from runway 25R at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. The decision to abort the takeoff was made in response to an instruction from air traffic control canceling the takeoff clearance.
Sequence of Events
The cancellation was issued because of a conflict with Allegiant Airlines Flight 588 (AAY588), which was landing on runway 19L. The air traffic controller determined that the simultaneous operations posed a conflict, leading to the revocation of the takeoff clearance for ASA677. The crew of ASA677 complied with the instruction by rejecting the takeoff.
Outcome
There was no reported damage to AAY588. However, ASA677 sustained a deflated tire after returning to the gate. No injuries were reported among passengers or crew on either aircraft. No further operational disruptions were documented.
