Overview

• AeroLogic Flight 619, newly arrived from Shanghai, crossed Los Angeles International Airport’s Runway 25R without authorization as American Airlines Flight 2453 began its takeoff roll, the FAA said.
• Air traffic control audio indicates the cargo jet had been told to cross Runway 25L but turned right instead, prompting urgent orders to stop the freighter and cancel the American jet’s takeoff.
• Flight-tracking data show the American A321 rejected takeoff at roughly 154–167 mph, with the closest separation between the aircraft about 5,200 feet.
• American said there were no injuries to the 94 passengers and seven crew, and the Boston-bound flight later departed after roughly a 2.5-hour delay.
• AeroLogic acknowledged the runway was entered inadvertently and said it is cooperating, while the FAA reviews taxi routing, controller-pilot communications, and other operational data.
