Finnair plane hits flock of birds on takeoff

A flock of birds, possibly hazel hen or partridges, flying into the jet turbines of a Finnair plane as it was accelerating down the runway at Oulu Airport on Friday morning caused the pilot to abort the take-off.
Sparks and a loud bang came from the plane's starboard engine, and the pilot taxied the aircraft back to the terminal building for inspection by mechanics.
The 7 a.m. flight was carrying 75 passengers, who were not reportedly in any danger as a result of the incident, as the aircraft had not left the ground and the pilot had plenty of time in which to bring the plane to a halt. They continued their journey to Helsinki in another aircraft roughly an hour later.

The plane then attempted at 10 a.m. to take off empty for Helsinki, but the pilot was forced to concede defeat as considerable extraneous noises were still coming from the engine.
It will be examined further in Oulu and repair work will begin as necessary.
