The pilots issued the urgency signal PAN-PAN, stating: 'The windshields are shattered and we cannot see outside.' This indicates the critical condition of the flight deck.
Captain Matt Kunz explained the aftermath: 'The bird struck the top of the captain's side windshield, causing damage and resulting in some glass pieces in the flight deck, but there were no injuries.'
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada reported that the plane had encountered a flock of geese, leading to the birdstrike that shattered the windshield.
Despite the glass debris and reports of injuries, Flair Airlines emphasized that 'the pilot was not injured and, in fact, was back flying the next day.'
