Before midnight on Friday, 3rd September 2021 a KLM flight from Accra scheduled for Amsterdam, faced an unexpected hitch as it prepared to take off from the tarmac at the Kotoka International airport.
The incident prompted personnel of the Rescue and Fire Fighting Service (RFFS) at Kotoka International Airport to attend to the situation as information gathered suggests that the flight was cancelled after a bird found its way into the engine of the plane when it was just about to take off.
The incident, known as bird strike, left passengers stranded and in fear as the tyres of the plane were deflated in the process, and according to the eyewitness, they would have to be replaced to enable a resumption of the flight.
Efforts were made to replace the tyres while passengers were still on board however, information indicates that passengers have disembarked from the flight, and are being checked into hotels to spend the night whiles engineers work to fix the plane.
