Narrative:

Air carrier X, an A330, was taxiing to runway 31L. As he approached taxiway J on taxiway a, he was instructed to cross runway 4L on taxiway J and hold short of taxiway Z. Instead of turning left onto taxiway J, he continued straight ahead and would have crossed runway 31L at taxiway k-a. The ground controller saw this error, instructed air carrier X to hold his position and pointed the situation out to the local controller. Air carrier Y, a B767, had been cleared for takeoff. Because it could not immediately be determined if air carrier X was beyond the hold line, air carrier Y takeoff clearance was canceled as a precaution. After the takeoff clearance was canceled, and as air carrier Y was slowing down to exit the runway, an amass warning was received. Supplemental information from acn 564054: air carrier Y was cleared for takeoff (on runway 31L) and had started to roll when the ground controller shouted 'cancel his takeoff' because he was afraid that air carrier X might be taxiing onto runway 31L. I canceled air carrier Y's takeoff clearance and he exited runway 31L prior to air carrier X's location.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: FOREIGN ACR A330 ALMOST TAXIED IN FRONT OF A B767 ON TKOF ROLL AT JFK.

Narrative: ACR X, AN A330, WAS TAXIING TO RWY 31L. AS HE APCHED TXWY J ON TXWY A, HE WAS INSTRUCTED TO CROSS RWY 4L ON TXWY J AND HOLD SHORT OF TXWY Z. INSTEAD OF TURNING L ONTO TXWY J, HE CONTINUED STRAIGHT AHEAD AND WOULD HAVE CROSSED RWY 31L AT TXWY K-A. THE GND CTLR SAW THIS ERROR, INSTRUCTED ACR X TO HOLD HIS POS AND POINTED THE SIT OUT TO THE LCL CTLR. ACR Y, A B767, HAD BEEN CLRED FOR TKOF. BECAUSE IT COULD NOT IMMEDIATELY BE DETERMINED IF ACR X WAS BEYOND THE HOLD LINE, ACR Y TKOF CLRNC WAS CANCELED AS A PRECAUTION. AFTER THE TKOF CLRNC WAS CANCELED, AND AS ACR Y WAS SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT THE RWY, AN AMASS WARNING WAS RECEIVED. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 564054: ACR Y WAS CLRED FOR TKOF (ON RWY 31L) AND HAD STARTED TO ROLL WHEN THE GND CTLR SHOUTED 'CANCEL HIS TKOF' BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID THAT ACR X MIGHT BE TAXIING ONTO RWY 31L. I CANCELED ACR Y'S TKOF CLRNC AND HE EXITED RWY 31L PRIOR TO ACR X'S LOCATION.
