A Condor Airbus A320-200, registration D-AICE performing flight DE-1606 from Munich (Germany) to Mikonos (Greece), was accelerating for takeoff from Munich's runway 08L when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 100 knots) due the airspeed indications disagreeing with each other. The aircraft slowed safely, vacated the runway via high speed exit A5 about 1300 meters/4350 feet down the runway and returned to the apron.

A replacement Airbus A321-200 registration D-ATCF positioned from Frankfurt/Main (Germany) to Munich and reached Mikonos with a delay of about 4 hours.

The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Munich about 29 hours after the rejected takeoff. It had flown a good number of sectors during June 2021 and had been on the ground in Munich for about 31 hours prior to the rejected takeoff.
