On Saturday I was at Milan Malpensa airport and an Emirates A-380 rejected takeoff very early, I'd say after 500 or 600 m.
I have tried to find out the reason of it, but apart from the usual Avherald, which doesn't report anything, I have no idea where I might find the information.

My son was curious to find out as he waited for an hour to see it takeoff and was left with some disappointment. The plane was about 30 minutes late on schedule, despite landing an hour earlier than planned and finally took off an hour later, so I suspect some benign warning signal.
Registration was A6-EOW

Thanks for any help

Check LiveATC records if they cover that airport.

It could be anything they may have stopped for. Up to 80kts stop for anything. 80kts to V1 - any fire, engine failure, blocked runway, wind shear, or aircraft unable to fly.

Years ago I would’ve suggested it was the take off configuration warning. Stand the thrust levers up and if something isn’t selected for take off then a warning is given. These days such events should be like hens teeth. It could’ve been something silly like a seat not locked in position, so it slides to the rear.

You have to report a rejected takeoff to the regulator, so there will be a report describing what happened to EASA or the Emirati aviation authority (think it should go to both).
