A United Airlines flight<\/a> was forced to return to Newark shortly after takeoff following a bird strike.<\/p>\n

The aircraft had just departed Newark Liberty International Airport on Monday morning, March 9, and was bound for Jacksonville, Florida, when the incident happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The airline confirmed the event to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“United Flight 1207 safely returned to Newark following a bird strike,” according to a United Airlines statement shared with Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Customers deplaned normally at the gate, and we arranged for a new aircraft to take them to Jacksonville<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

There were 138 passengers and six crew members on board the Boeing 737.<\/p>\n

Federal aviation officials said the crew reported a cracked windshield and a possible pressurization issue after the bird strike.<\/p>\n

“The FAA will investigate<\/a>,” the agency said.<\/p>\n

United later said a subsequent inspection did not show damage to the windshield.<\/p>\n

Flight tracking data from FlightAware shows the plane was airborne for less than an hour before returning to Newark.<\/p>\n

A replacement aircraft later transported passengers<\/a> to Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

Bird strikes are not uncommon.<\/p>\n

The FAA tracks reported wildlife collisions through its Wildlife Strike Database, which has collected data since 1990, the FAA website noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reporting is voluntary \u2014 so the numbers reflect incidents submitted by airlines, pilots and airports.<\/p>\n

Federal data shows that roughly 291,600 wildlife strikes<\/a> involving civil aircraft were reported in the U.S. between 1990 and 2023.<\/p>\n

In 2023 alone, nearly 19,400 strikes were recorded at more than 700 U.S. airports.<\/p>\n

The FAA has said the increase in reported incidents is linked to rising wildlife populations, more aircraft traffic and improved reporting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The agency continues to expand research and mitigation efforts to reduce risks near airports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fox Business previously reported on a separate United Airlines incident involving windshield damage last year.<\/p>\n

In that case, a United Boeing 737 Max 8 traveling from Denver<\/a> to Los Angeles diverted to Salt Lake City after the crew discovered a crack in the aircraft\u2019s multilayer windshield at a cruising altitude of 36,000 feet.<\/p>\n

The National Transportation Safety Board said it was investigating the incident and collecting radar, weather and flight recorder data.<\/p>\n

The aircraft was carrying 134 passengers and six crew members at the time; United arranged for a replacement plane to complete the trip.<\/p>\n
