A Lufthansa Airbus A321-100, registration D-AIRN performing flight LH-1800 from Munich (Germany) to Madrid,SP (Spain) with 194 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff from Munich's runway 08R when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 100 KIAS) due to a bird strike. The aircraft came to a stop about 1600 meters/5300 feet down the runway. Emergency services responded and cooled the brakes. The aircraft was subsequently able to taxi to the apron on its own power after about 20 minutes on the runway.
A replacement A321-100 registration D-AIRL is estimated to reach Madrid with a delay of about 3 hours.
