A LOT Polish Airlines Embraer ERJ-195, registration SP-LND performing flight LO-420 from Zurich (Switzerland) to Warsaw (Poland), was accelerating for takeoff from Zurich's runway 28 when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 90 knots over ground) due to a bird strike. The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.

Following examination by maintenance the aircraft was able to depart about 2:30 hours after the rejected takeoff and reached Warsaw with a delay of 2:40 hours.
