An ANZ Air New Zealand Airbus A321-200N, registration ZK-NND performing flight
NZ-207 from Christchurch (New Zealand) to Brisbane,QL (Australia), was accelerating for takeoff from Christchurch's runway 20 when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 110 knots over ground) due to a bird strike. The aircraft slowed safely, vacated the runway and stopped on the parallel taxiway.
A passenger reported they were later told a flock of birds had struck both engines (PW1133G).
The rotation was cancelled.
