An Iberia Airbus A350
He landed this afternoon at Barajas airport with a dead vulture embedded against the fiber of the nose of the plane, where the radar is located.
The Juan Sebastián el Cano ship, coming from Bogotá, has been able to descend and land on the runway without any setback.
The incident occurred a minute and a half before landing on runway 32L, according to sources from the airline.
The impact has caused a large hole in that part in the fiber dome of the nose of the plane that protects a radar and that, according to company sources, is "easily replaceable."
This type of collision, called
'airstrikes',
can be very dangerous, since the black vulture (
Aegypius monachus
) has an average wingspan of
2.5 meters and up to 12 kilos in weight.
In his Twitter account,
Air Traffic Controllers
, he indicated that despite the violence of the impact, "the flight has landed without incident. The runway has been reviewed and information is transmitted to the rest of the traffic in sequence."
The airline company has indicated that after the impact there has been no shake in the plane that only the cabin crew has noticed.
The photographs have begun to circulate on social networks and have attracted attention due to the huge gap in the aircraft.
