Final Report B773 (A6-EQA) & B773 (A6-EBY), Dubai UAE, 9 January 2022
On 9 January 2022, a Boeing 777-300 commenced takeoff without clearance in good night visibility as another Boeing 777-300 was crossing the same runway not far from its mid-point as cleared. Only after a repeated stop call did the first aircraft initiate a rejected takeoff but still stopped well before reaching the position where the other aircraft was crossing. The failure to comply with a line up clearance was accompanied by the failure of the crew to adequately monitor the radio frequency they were working in respect of both their own clearance and that given to crossing traffic ahead.
