A Republic Airways Embraer ERJ-175 on behalf of American Airlines, registration N115HQ performing flight AA-4736 (sched. May 5th, act. May 6th) from New York La Guardia,NY to Buffalo,NY (USA), was cleared for takeoff from La Guardia's runway 13.

A United Boeing 737-800, registration N37252 performing flight UA-2657 from Houston Intercontinental,TX to New York La Guardia,NY (USA), had landed on La Guardia's runway 04 and was taxiing on runway 13 to the terminal at that time.

The tower controller, obviously recognizing the mistake, cancelled the takeoff clearance, the ERJ crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 105 knots over ground). The controller subsequently apologized stating that he thought the United had already cleared the runway.

The Boeing already on ground frequency had missed their taxiway and were rolling to the next taxiway.

FAA and NTSB announced on May 19th 2025 they are going to investigate the occurrence.
