A KLM Boeing 737-800, registration PH-HSD performing flight KL-1385 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Kiev (Ukraine), had been cleared for takeoff from runway 18L and was accelerating for takeoff.

A KLM Boeing 777-200, registration PH-BQI performing flight KL-31 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Toronto,ON (Canada), had been instructed to line up runway 24 and wait by the outgoing tower controller.

A controller change took place.

Another aircraft reported ready for departure from runway 18L and was instructed to line up runway 18L and wait by the incoming tower controller.

Immediately after this instruction the incoming controller cleared KL-31 for takeoff, the crew of KL-1385 immediately reported they were still departing conflicting with KL-31's jet blast, the controller immediately cancelled takeoff clearance for KL-31 and instructed them to hold position, the aircraft had not yet moved.

KL-31 departed about 2 minutes later, both aircraft reached their destinations without further incidents.

On Jun 28th 2017 Netherland's LVNL (ATC provider) reported that the controller immediately after issuing the takeoff clearance on runway 24 and the readback by the crew cancelled the takeoff clearance. When the departing aircraft on runway 18L went past the intersection with runway 24 the Boeing 777 was still lining up from taxiway S6 and was not yet in position. After the departing Boeing 737 had passed the runway intersection the controller issued another takeoff clearance to the Boeing 777. The crew of the Boeing 737 did not call on frequency that they were in the takeoff. The LVNL rated the occurrence in the lowest possible category.
