On March 16, 2007, at 0520 UTC, Alaska Airlines flight 677 (ASA677) performed a rejected takeoff while attempting to depart from runway 25R at McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada. The rejected takeoff occurred in accordance with an air traffic control instruction canceling takeoff clearance because of a conflict with Allegiant Airlines flight 588 (AAY588) landing on runway 19L. There was no reported damage to AAY588, but ASA677 incurred a deflated tire after returning to the gate. There were no reported injuries to passengers or crew on either aircraft.
