An American Airlines Airbus A319-100, registration N716UW performing flight AA-308 from Miami,FL (USA) to Bermuda (Bermuda), was cleared for takeoff from Miami's runway 08R and was accelerating for takeoff when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed after spotting a business jet crossing the runway about about 880 meters/2880 feet down the runway. The A319 vacated the runway at the first right exit about 370 meters/1200 feet down the runway.
Ground Control subsequently told the crew of the Netjets business jet that they had just crossed an active runway, the crew claimed they had been cleared to cross which tower denied telling them he had cleared another aircraft with different callsign and numbers.
The A319 departed about 20 minutes later.
