An EAT Leipzig Airbus A300-600 on behalf of DHL, registration D-AEAB performing flight QY-6731 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was accelerating for takeoff from Amsterdam's runway 36C when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 100 knots over ground) due to a bird strike into the right hand engine (PW4158). Tower reported seeing the right hand engine flame out. The crew requested emergency services to inspect the aircraft for damage, shut the right hand engine down for that inspection and subsequently returned to the apron on one engine.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Amsterdam about 26 hours after the rejected takeoff.
