On December 18, as a plane from the airline Air Arabia had just taken off from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, it hit a group of birds. The impact was filmed live by a passenger.

The specialized site VAS Aviation transcribed the (English) exchange between the pilot and the control tower from the impact until the landing of the plane at the same airport a quarter of an hour later.

As we announced the day after the incident, this plane was to make the connection between Amsterdam and Nador.
