Aterizare de urgență pe Aeroportul Otopeni: Un avion cu peste 200 de oameni la bord ar fi lovit un stol de păsări

A Wizz Air flight from Bucharest to London had to return shortly after takeoff due to a bird strike. The incident occurred on October 9, with the aircraft hitting a flock of birds, one of which entered an engine. The pilots requested an emergency landing, and the plane safely returned to Henri Coandă International Airport about 21 minutes after departure. Over 200 passengers were on board, but no injuries were reported. Technical checks were initiated to assess any damage to the aircraft, particularly the engines, before determining if the flight could continue. Bird strikes pose a known risk during takeoff and landing, potentially leading to engine failure.
