The incident occurred when G-SMTJ was accelerating for takeoff on Runway 06 Left (L) and EI-CJI taxied across the runway ahead of it; both aircraft had been cleared by Air Traffic Control to execute their respective manoeuvres. The flight crew of G-SMTJ rejected their takeoff thus averting the risk of a collision. The ATC procedures at Manchester and other airports controlled by National Air Traffic Services controllers are being reviewed with a view to increasing standardisation.
