A LOT Polish Airlines Embraer ERJ-175, registration SP-LIB performing flight
LO-481 from Warsaw (Poland) to Oslo (Norway), was cleared for takeoff from runway 15 and was accelerating for takeoff when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed reporting some failure indication. The crew slowed safely and stopped well clear of the intersection with runway 11. Tower queried whether a runway inspection was needed, the crew advised a runway inspection was not needed. The aircraft subsequently vacated the runway via taxiway O1, about 500 meters/1650 feet short of the runway intersection, and returned to the holding point runway 15.
An Enter Air Boeing 737-800, registration SP-ESC performing flight ENT-51UA from Basel/Mulhouse (Switzerland/France) to Warsaw (Poland), was on final approach to Warsaw's runway 11 cleared to land and continued landing crossing the runway intersection about one minute ahead of the takeoff clearance on runway 15.
However, there are media reports in Poland claiming the Embraer rejected takeoff because of a loss of separation and conflicts on the runway between the two aircraft.
The occurrence Embraer departed about 6 minutes after the rejected takeoff.
