Air Canada flight AC899, a Boeing 777-300, rejected the takeoff at high speed due to bird activity and possible engine ingestion. The crew declared a PAN PAN and requested aircraft rescue and firefighting to inspect the aircraft. On inspection a tire fuse plug had deflated a wheel.
Air Canada maintenance inspected the aircraft for a high speed rejected take-off and possible bird strike. Two main wheel units replaced, and remnants of bird strike found on left wing leading edge. The aircraft was returned to service two days later.
