A VietJet Air Airbus A320 aircraft suffered extensive damage to its radome in a bird strike incident on the evening of 30 September.
The aircraft was flying on the Buon Ma Thuot-Hanoi route operating flight VJ496, confirms VietJet. The carrier provided no details on the number of passengers or crew aboard the jet, but says it landed safely.
Images on social media show the aircraft suffered significant damage to the radome. Media reports from Vietnam add that the aircraft’s radar was also damaged.
VietJet says the aircraft bears registration VN-A650. Flightglobal’s Fleets Analyzer shows that VN-A650 is owned by GECAS and was delivered to VietJet on 11 February 2015.
It is powered by CFM International CFM56-5b4/3 PIP engines.
