By Simon Hradecky, created Sunday, Jan 8th 2012 23:39Z, last updated Monday, Jan 9th 2012 14:51Z 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.



The JAL Boeing 777 was able to depart about 20 minutes later and reached Tokyo on time.



The Emirates Airbus needed to cross runway 16R to resolve the conflict, re-joined the departure queue departing Sydney about 30 minutes later and reached Auckland with a delay of 30 minutes.



On Jan 9th (Australian time) Airservices Australia confirmed a runway incursion on Jan 6th that resulted in a rejected takeoff and a go-around, however declined to provide further details.



Two observers on the ground reported independently that they got aware of the incident by the go-around of the Malaysian Boeing 747-400, saw the Emirates A380 in a position on taxiway G past intersection with taxiway A that they interpreted as a runway incursion and saw the JAL Boeing 777 stopped on the runway. The Emirates A380 subsequently taxied across runway 16R clearing the path for the Boeing 777, which then vacated the runway and rejoined the departure queue.
