Investigation Launched After Scandinavian Airlines Flight Crew Error
An investigation has been opened in Belgium after a Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) Airbus A320neo commenced takeoff from a taxiway rather than the airport runway at Brussels Airport. The SAS flight crew were cleared for takeoff from runway 07R but mistakenly positioned the aircraft on taxiway E1. No one was injured, and the Federal Police provided psychological support on site. The incident is being investigated by the Air Accident Investigation Unit, and SAS is conducting a thorough internal investigation. This incident was first reported by AeroTime.
