Air Canada Jet Ordered to Stop at St. Louis (travelradar.aero)

Air Canada Express flight AC8886, a Jazz-operated Bombardier CRJ900 bound for Toronto, was cleared for takeoff from Runway 12R at Lambert St. Louis International Airport on Tuesday morning before air traffic control cancelled the clearance, repeatedly telling the crew to stop. Southwest Airlines flight WN3082, a Boeing 737-800, was cleared to land on the same runway and touched down safely seconds later with no injuries reported. The FAA has not classified the incident, which comes seven months after a Jazz-operated Air Canada Express CRJ-900 struck a fire truck on Runway 4 at LaGuardia, killing both pilots.
