It happened at 10:35 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The flight was cleared for takeoff by an air traffic controller, but was then instructed to abort as the plane was going 154 miles per hour.
The AeroLogic flight crossed in front of the plane while taxiing to its gate.
The planes were about one mile apart at their closest points, FAA officials said.
The Boston-bound American Airlines did eventually take off, but on another plane.
