> Earlier this week, one of the airline’s aircraft was involved in a bird strike whilst on its approach into Harare, RG Mugabe International Airport, with damage requiring an outsized replacement part that needed specialised shipping to Harare.

> The part was fitted yesterday in accordance with the manufacturer’s approved maintenance procedures.

> The aircraft has since returned to regular service today operating the airline’s published timetable.

Fastjet apologised to customers for the inconvenience caused by the crisis. It said:

> … [the] untimely and unforeseeable bird strike event coincided with one of the airline’s other aircraft being in scheduled maintenance which was planned in accordance with the approved maintenance programme.

> These two events meant that both aircraft were out of the airline’s operational fleet simultaneously, necessitating changes to the flying programme.

A bird strike is defined as a collision between a bird and an aircraft that is in flight or on a take-off or landing roll. | ZimLive
