Flight LS177 from Glasgow Airport (GLA) to Alicante (ALC) made an emergency stop on the runway just prior to take-off. The aircraft was forced to curtail take-off due to smoke in the cabin. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"As the aircraft commenced its takeoff roll, both pilots commented on a strange smell. A few seconds later, due to what appeared to be smoke in the cabin, the Cabin Service Director (CSD) alerted the flight crew to an emergency situation. The takeoff was abandoned and the aircraft stopped on the runway. Visual inspection by the commander confirmed the appearance of a significant amount of smoke in the cabin. He ordered an immediate evacuation, during which one passenger suffered a serious injury. No source for the smoke was identified but excessive moisture in the air conditioning system was identified as a possible factor. The operator subsequently amended its maintenance procedures.
