An Aeromexico Connect Embraer ERJ-190, registration XA-ALP performing flight AM-1631 from Aguascalientes to Mexico City (Mexico), was cleared to land on Mexico City's runway 05R and was on final approach.

A Delta Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration N3766 performing flight DL-590 from Mexico City (Mexico) to Atlanta,GA (USA), was cleared to line up runway 05R via taxiway B1 (about 520 meters/1700 feet ahead of the displaced threshold of the runway), was cleared for takeoff and commenced takeoff.

The Embraer overflew the Boeing at low height and touched down on runway 05R in the landing zone on schedule. The Boeing rejected takeoff at low speed (about 60 knots over ground) and returned to the apron.

The Boeing departed later and reached Atlanta with a delay of about 2 hours.

The Embraer continued the schedule with one hour delay.
