Share:
A Wizz Air flight from Bratislava to Barcelona was forced to turn back and return to Bratislava Airport after the aircraft struck a bird shortly after departure. Bird strikes, which occur when a plane collides with one or more birds during flight, can pose a safety risk by damaging engines or other critical systems, and standard aviation procedure requires pilots to return to the nearest airport for inspection when such an incident occurs.
