A Volga-Dnepr Antonov AN-124-100, registration RA-82043 performing flight VI-4044 from Montreal,QC (Canada) to Glasgow Prestwick,SC (UK), had been cleared into and taxied into position for takeoff from runway 24R. At that time a report came in that there was foreign object damage on runway 24L. Tower, intending to reclear a number of aircraft on approach to 24L for runway 24R, requested the crew to "report when ready to roll". The crew replied "negative", tower acknowledged "roger". About 3 minutes later the crew began their takeoff run without clearance forcing tower to turn an Air Canada Airbus A320-200, flight AC-405, which had departed from runway 24L, early onto a heading 205 at 1500 feet MSL to resolve a pending conflict. Tower subsequently queried the Russian crew because of the takeoff without clearance, the crew claimed they had been instructed to "report when rolling" but tower clarified the transmission was "report when ready to roll" which the crew had to admit. Tower subsequently handed the aircraft off to departure. Two arrivals bound for 24L immediately swung over to 24R as the airport authority had closed runway 24L due to the foreign object damage in the meantime.

NAV Canada reported that noise abatement procedures could not be followed when AC-405 was turned off runway heading early in order to resolve the pending conflict, that arose out of the takeoff without clearance.
