Royal Jordanian Beirut flight lands safely after bird strike

Amman -- A Royal Jordanian aircraft landed safely at Beirut Airport yesterday after a bird strike while it was approaching the airport during a normal flight between Amman and Beirut, according to an RJ official.

RJ Spokesman Basel Kilani said that the Airbus-319 landed at Rafik Hariri Airport on time despite the bird strike, adding that the airplane suffered a minor damage to its fuselage and that the national carrier sent a jet to pick the passengers who were bound to board the Airbus-319.

He explained that the jet arrived in Amman late last night after it was repaired by a technical team the airline sent earlier in the day, noting that the aircraft was now fully operational.

Bird strikes happen most often during takeoff or landing, or during low altitude flight.
