Spanish investigators are looking into an incident involving a Germania Boeing 737-700 which was cleared to depart from a closed runway at Las Palmas.
The aircraft (D-ABLB) had been authorised for take-off from runway 03R at the Canary Islands airport on 7 January.
Spanish investigation authority CIAIAC says the runway had been shut in order for work to be carried out.
After the 737 commenced its take-off run, air traffic control ordered it to abort the departure, and the aircraft was brought to a halt.
The incident took place in daylight and meteorological data from the airport indicates good weather at the time.
None of the 135 passengers and five crew members on board the aircraft was injured, says CIAIAC. The aircraft subsequently departed on runway 03L.
