A Delta Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration N342DN performing flight DL-1482 from New Orleans,LA to Salt Lake City,UT (USA), was cleared for takeoff from runway 11 and was accelerating for takeoff from runway 11 when tower cancelled the takeoff clearance. The crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 125 knots over ground) and stopped about 1500 meters/4920 feet down the runway. The aircraft subsequently vacated the runway and stopped to work checklists and monitoring the brakes temperatures with the intention to return to the holding point, however, subsequently needed to return to the apron.

Tower explained another aircraft had crossed the hold short line of the runway.

The aircraft remained on the ground in New Orleans for about 21.5 hours, then departed.

The FAA reported: "An air traffic controller cancelled the takeoff clearance for Delta Air Lines Flight 1482 after a Learjet landed at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and made a wrong turn onto a taxiway. The Learjet never crossed the hold short line. The controller cancelled the takeoff clearance for the Delta Airbus A321 out of an abundance of caution. This incident occurred around 7:45 p.m. local time on March 31."
