An Airbus A319-100 aircraft operated by Air Canada, was conducting flight AC352 from Calgary International Airport to Ottawa-MacDonald-Cartier Airport. During the departure from CYYC off runway 35L, the aircraft encountered a flock of birds.

The operator’s maintenance found damage to the number 1 engine intake leading edge at the 6 o'clock position, in addition to two fan blades that appeared to be bent. The number 2 engine suffered 7 bent fan blades at the mid-span point. The number 1 engine cowl was replaced, a borescope was carried out and no internal damage was found. Fan blades were inspected and were within limits. A borescope inspection was also carried out on the number 2 engine, and no internal damage was found. All fan blades were removed, and seven blades were replaced. Both engines were tested, and the aircraft was returned to service.
