A Virgin Australia Airlines Boeing 737-800 (VH-IWQ) had recently landed on runway 25. When issuing the landing clearance, the aerodrome controller had provided the flight crew traffic information about a Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 (9V-SKQ), lined-up but holding position on the threshold of the intersecting runway, 34L.
The Airbus A380 was issued a take-off clearance as the Boeing 737 crossed through the intersection of the runways. The Boeing 737 vacated runway 25 onto the taxiway and the flight crew contacted the surface movement controller, who issued clearance to cross runway 34L and taxi to their allocated parking bay.
The Boeing 737 crew were reported to have seen the Airbus A380 still on its take-off roll and queried the runway crossing clearance with the controller, who then issued an instruction to hold short of the runway.
The Airbus A380 was on its initial climb as it passed through the taxiway intersection, with the Boeing 737 about 300 m from the runway 34L holding point.
