An ITA Transportes Aereos (Itapemirim) Airbus A320-200, registration PS-SFC performing flight 8I-5610 from Brasilia,DF to Recife,PE (Brazil) with 157 passengers and 7 crew, was accelerating for takeoff from Brasilia's runway 11L when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 100 knots over ground) due to a bird strike into the right hand engine (V2527). The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.
The right hand engine received damage to several fan blades. The aircraft remained on the ground for 36 hours before returning to service.
