## Resource

A Ryanair flight from Norwich to Malta hit a bird shortly after takeoff, forcing an emergency diversion to East Midlands Airport—but no panic, just quick action. Passengers were swiftly rebooked onto a replacement plane that took off just before noon, ensuring everyone still reached their destination. The incident highlights routine safety protocols like squawk codes and the behind-the-scenes coordination that keeps flights running—even amid ongoing labor disputes at Norwich Airport over controller pay.
