All Sky Monitor (ASM) on-board Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on-board Swift detected an outburst of low-mass X-ray binary Aql X-1. The source re-brightened after an outburst in July 2010 (ATEL #2742, #2744, #2748). The outburst started near MJD 55440 (1st Sept 2010) and right now, in 2-10 keV, the source is near its peak with ASM count rate 27.75 counts/s (~370 mCrab) recorded on MJD 55455.16 (UT 16.16 Sept 2010).
