After lenghy engine run-ups on runway 24R, the An-124 began its take-off run without clearance from the tower. Considering the last communication exchange the tower previously instructed the pilots to "report when ready for rolling", the pilot mistook these words as "report when rolling" and released brakes after take-off power was set. The premature departure of the Antonov forced the tower controller to turn an Air Canada Airbus A320 immediately to the south to avoid a possible conflict in the departure sector. The An-124 made a normal take-off and proceeded normally to its destination.
