According to a statement by the company’s Corporate Communications department, the incident contributed to the breakdown of flight schedules and travel disruptions experienced in recent days. Reads the statement: ---------- Latest itel A06 on Pindula: 32GB storage, 4GB RAM $69 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- > 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 _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
