Translation: The Air One jet had takeoff clearance when he observed an Alitalia MD-80 holding at the other end of the runway. The takeoff was aborted without further incident.

The same news article reports a Ukrainian airline, Aeroswit 737-500 skidding off the runway sideways, 250 meters into the takeoff run at Moscow Sheremetjevo airport. No injuries.
