Comair has confirmed that one of its Kulula aircraft made an emergency landing at OR Tambo International Airport on Sunday morning.
It’s understood a guinea fowl flew into one of the plane’s engines shortly after it took off from Lanseria Airport to Cape Town.
The incident has resulted in some delays. No one was been injured.
Comair CEO Erik Venter said, “The Kulula aircraft did make an emergency landing because it struck a guinea fowl coming out of Lanseria Airport. It’s not unusual but we obviously take precautionary measures, we don’t want to risk safety.”
