A United Boeing 737-9 MAX, registration N37540 performing flight UA-1929 from Newark,NJ to Orlando,FL (USA), had landed on Orlando's runway 18R and had been instructed to vacate via E and hold short of runway 18L.

A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-8 MAX, registration N8875B performing flight WN-5777 from Orlando,FL to Dallas Love,TX (USA), was cleared for takeoff from runway 18L and was accelerating down the runway when UA-1929 crossed the hold short line prompting tower to cancel the takeoff clearance for WN-5777. The aircraft rejected takeoff at high speed (about 110 knots over ground) and slowed safely coming to a stop well short of the UA-1929 continuing to cross the runway.

A ground observer reported Tower instructed the crew to taxi via taxiway E hold short of runway 18L, the crew however read back taxi via taxiway E and cross runway 18L, which was not challenged by tower. After Southwest had rejected their takeoff tower told the United about possible pilot deviation.

The Southwest Aircraft returned to hold short line of runway 18L and departed about 25 minutes after the rejected takeoff.

The United Aircraft departed for the return flight on schedule.
