An Easyjet Europe Airbus A320-200, registration OE-INL performing flight U2-4119 from Naples to Milan Malpensa (Italy), was taxiing towards departure runway 24 when the aircraft was cleared for takeoff. The crew lined the aircraft up, spotted a car of the runway and stopped. After the car vacated the runway the aircraft departed and reached Milan without further incident.

Italy's ANSV opened an investigation into the serious incident stating: "The A320 aircraft, registration OE-INL, cleared for alignment and take-off from runway 24, stopped after alignment due to the presence of a car on the runway; take-off was therefore postponed and the car cleared the runway. The flight to Malpensa continued without further problems."
