A Ryanair flight from Manchester to Madrid requested a full technical inspection after a suspected bird strike during takeoff in England. Flight FR3187, operated by a Boeing 737 MAX 8 with registration EI-IFV, departed Manchester Airport runway 23L at 1:45 PM BST. Although the incident was possible during takeoff, the crew continued with the planned route and climbed to a cruising altitude of 37,000 feet while crossing the English Channel.
