A KLM Cityhopper Fokker-70, registration PH-WXA performing flight KL-1324 from Riga (Latvia) to Amsterdam (Netherlands), rejected takeoff from runway 18 at high speed due to a bird strike to the left side of the airplane associated with an audible bang.

The flight was postponed for the necessary inspections, which showed the birds had not hit the engines. PH-WXA therefore reached Amsterdam with a delay of 11:45 hours.
