Naha AP, Okinawa Prefecture.

13:25, ANA flight [B-737-800] to New Chitose AP, Hokkaidou, aborted take-off, as a JASDF CH-47 flew across and before ANA flight.

Although air traffic control instructed JTA [Japan Trans Ocean] flight [B-737-400] from New Ishigaki AP, Okinawa Prefecture, to abort landing, it landed, when ANA flight was on runway.

ANA flight 1694, call-sign All Nippon 1694, had 83 crew and passengers.
JTA flight 610 had 44 crew and passengers.
CH-47, call-sign Pony 41, had seven crew and passengers.

ANA flight was taking off on runway, from north to south.
CH-47 flew near runway south end, from east to west.

ANA flight stopped near middle of 3,000 m runway, had not moved to taxiway, when JTA flight landed on runway, from north to south.
JTA flight stopped 400 to 500 m behind ANA flight.

CH-47 claimed to misunderstand permission to take-off for ANA flight as for CH-47.
CH-47 pilot had 1,850 flight hours.
Co-pilot had 1,700 flight hours.

ANA pilot and CH-47 pilot confirmed permission to take-off to air traffic control, but both call-signs sounded alike, and air traffic control misunderstood who confirmed permission.

JTA flight claimed when received instruction to abort landing, it had landed, and engines were reverse-thrusting.
