If it was en route to Israel in time for the Sabbath, my bet would be on helzl stuffing and a couple of kishkes.

birdstrike?

I gather a TLV-bound had to come back in this morning after swallowing some poultry on take-off. I'd assume that was the EZY flight... anyone know about that?

Thanks!

Views much appreciated. I was also very surprised at the rumour of EZY stopping, as it seemed they were doing so well.

Re BMI, I'm wondering if there's a general move afoot by Lufty to maintain...
