An Ural Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration VQ-BOB performing flight U6-7045 from Moscow Domodedovo (Russia) to Barcelona,SP (Spain), was on short final to Barcelona's runway 02 below 500 feet AGL when EC-LVS began their takeoff roll without clearance.
A listener on frequency reported that tower immediately intervened stating that the Vueling had no takeoff clearance. The Vueling crew reacted: "Vueling stopping!" and rejected takeoff at low speed. The aircraft came to a stop about abeam taxiway G9 after about 300 meters/1000 feet ground roll, just when coming to a stop the A321 touched down in the touch down zone of runway 02.
The A320 subsequently turned off runway 07R onto high speed turn off runway 25L/taxiway G9, returned to the holding point runway 07R and departed about 5 minutes later.
