A Wizz Air Airbus A320-200, registration HA-LYI performing flight
W6-2274 from Eindhoven (Netherlands) to Budapest (Hungary), was accelerating for takeoff from Einhoven's runway 21 when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 140 knots over ground) due to a bird strike. The aircraft slowed safely and vacated the runway. A subsequent runway inspection found the carcass of a kestrel reporting it didn't appear the bird had gone through the engine.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Eindhoven about 6 hours after the rejected takeoff.
