A Southwest Airlines flight aborted takeoff at Orlando airport on Thursday after it mistakenly began to depart on a taxiway rather than the runway, the latest in a series of recent incidents that have raised concerns about U.S. aviation safety.
An air traffic controller at the Florida airport canceled the takeoff clearance for Southwest Flight 3278 at around 9:30 a.m. ET (1330 GMT) after the aircraft began its takeoff roll on a taxiway that runs parallel to the runway, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
