Close call at Dublin

Yo

So I was about to takeoff at Dublin In an Aer Lingus a320 and as I was pushing my throttle up and aer lingus a330 crossed the takeoff runway. I had to abort takeoff and this is how close it was.

We landed safely in Manchester later. This was the expert server.

I am really sorry for this. This must have been really scary for you, I am sending thoughts to you and the family as well as the people on board. I really hope you fully recover from this traumatic experience and I hope the pilots do better in the future to prevent stuff like this happening in the future.

Wishing you a happy and fast mental recovery.

I understand how this can be frustrating. I was controlling EIDW today and it was a bit chaotic. I am glad you took initiative. Glad you had a safe flight!

I apologize if this incident occurred in ES and there was no IFATC control in the area. In such cases, we cannot issue violations. My suggestion is, if the pilot has an IFC (Infinite Flight Community) account, you can send a private message to them. Alternatively, you can submit the replay to the IFATC supervisor, who might be able to assist you further.

Both are used IRL and typically 28R will run majority of arrivals and departures :)
