Panaji: A Dutch charter plane, with 263 passengers onboard, on Thursday made an emergency landing at the airport here after a bird hit, airport officials said.
An airport spokesman said that the plane, operated by Netherland-based Air Arkefly, which had originated from Amsterdam and was supposed to fly to Colombo after a halt in Goa, was taking off from the airstrip here around 7.30 AM when a bird hit the engine of the plane.
"The bird was tucked inside the engine, which was damaged," the spokesman said.
