A Ryanair flight from City of Derry Airport to Birmingham had to make an unscheduled landing at Dublin Airport after being struck by a flock of birds yesterday afternoon. The bird strike happened just after the plane took off.
No-one was injured and passengers were transferred onto another flight to Birmingham at about 16:00. A spokesman for the budget airline said: ‘The aircraft was diverted to Dublin to allow technicians to check it. Derry Airport's bird hazard management procedures were in operation and a report of the incident will be made to relevant authorities.’
