Bird Strike Forces Air Arabia Flight Cancellation at Paris Airport

An incident disrupted the journey of passengers of Air Arabia between Paris and Rabat. The flight had to be canceled.

On Saturday, an Airbus A320 of the airline encountered a flock of birds during its landing at Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airport.

The impact, which occurred at the front of the aircraft, damaged the radome, the protective structure for the radar antenna. This incident had direct consequences on the planned return flight to Rabat.

Indeed, the plane was immobilized for technical checks, forcing the company to cancel the flight initially planned to the Moroccan capital. The passengers were ultimately redirected to Tangier.
