A Eurowings Airbus A319-100, registration D-AGWV performing flight
EW-2781 from Budapest (Hungary) to Stuttgart (Germany), was climbing out of Budapest's runway 31R when the aircraft received a bird strike into the right hand engine (V2524) prompting the crew to stop the climb at about 12,000 feet and reduce the right hand engine to idle thrust. The crew decided to return to Budapest reporting they had hit a hawk. ATC reported remains of a bird had been found on the runway, the remains were cleared off the runway. The aircraft landed safely back on runway 31R about 25 minutes after departure.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Budapest about 13 hours after landing back.
