A Ryanair flight was forced to return to Manchester airport after a bird strike.
The plane was heading to Palma in Mallorca when the pilot had to abandon the journey shortly after take-off.
A Ryanair spokeswoman said: "This flight from Manchester to Palma returned to Manchester shortly after take-off following a minor bird strike.
"The aircraft landed normally and customers disembarked and were provided with refreshment vouchers.
"To minimise delay, customers boarded a replacement aircraft which departed to Palma. Ryanair apologised to affected customers for any inconvenience caused."
