Bird Strike On Takeoff Returns Delta 757 To Nest

All Safe After Landing At MSY

Before the Hudson River ditching of US Airways Flight 1549 on January 15, the following news item probably wouldn't have made many headlines. A Delta Air Lines flight bound for Atlanta made a precautionary landing back at Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans Monday morning, after striking a bird on climbout from MSY.

The flight crew of Delta #1053 reported the bird strike while climbing through 4,000 feet, according to news reports and online flight tracking data.

It's unclear where the bird struck the airliner, though it appears the plane suffered no severe damage. As a precautionary measure, the crew leveled off, and turned back to MSY.

The 757 made an uneventful landing at around 8:20 am, MSY spokeswoman Michelle Wilcut told the New Orleans Times Picayune.

Passengers were rerouted onto other flights to Atlanta.
