Bird strike forces Swoop flight to make emergency landing at Abbotsford airport
Re: Bird strike forces Swoop flight to make emergency landing at Abbotsford airport
C-GXRW, a Boeing 737-800, operated by Swoop Airlines as flight WSW312 from Abbotsford
(CYXX) for Edmonton (CYEG), struck geese on the initial climb and the flight crew declared an
emergency. The crew informed ATC of a mechanical thrust issue (CFM INTERNATIONAL, CFM56
-7B27/E) and elected to return to the point of departure. The aircraft landed without further incident
at 15:42Z (11:42 EDT). The aircraft remained on the runway in order to facilitate an inspection by
aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF).
