A TAROM flight to Antalya faced an emergency landing in Otopeni after hitting a flock of pigeons shortly after takeoff from Cluj-Napoca.

The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, sustained damage but the engines were unaffected. Passengers were provided with refreshments while waiting for a replacement aircraft, which would take them to their destination with a delay of five hours. The incident highlights the importance of passenger safety during unexpected situations.
