CM-713 from Maracaibo (Venezuela) to Panama City (Panama), was climbing out of Maracaibo's runway 03L when the aircraft suffered a bird strike into one of the engines (CFM56). The aircraft stopped the climb at FL100 initially, subsequently climbed to FL140, stopped again and returned to Maracaibo for a safe landing on runway 03L about 35 minutes after departure.
Venezuela's INAC (Civil Aviation Authority) reported one of the engines ingested a bird as soon as the aircraft became airborne and needed to return to Maracaibo.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Maracaibo about 24 hours after landing back.
