A Ryanair Boeing 737-800, registration EI-DPP performing flight FR-2353 from Cologne (Germany) to London Stansted,EN (UK), was accelerating for takeoff from Cologne's runway 32R when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed (about 30 knots) and subsequently vacated the runway via runway 24.

A passenger reported: "We began throttle up for takeoff and very quickly the brakes were put on quite harshly."

At the very time the Boeing was accelerating a Turkish Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration TC-JSY performing flight TK-1675 from Istanbul (Turkey) to Cologne (Germany), was on short final to runway 24, touched down and crossed runway 32R.

The Boeing returned to the holding point and departed from runway 32R about 10 minutes after the rejected takeoff.

On Monday Sep 1st 2025 Germany's DFS responded to an inquiry sent by The Aviation Herald on Friday Aug 29th 2025 stating that the Ryanair was instructed to NOT takeoff while lining up the runway. The control center at Langen at Frankfurt/Main had issued a short-term stop on a departure route, there had been no conflict with any other aircraft. The aircraft then taxied off the runway via the crossing runway and returned to the hold short line
