At the airport in Cluj-Napoca, an incident occurred when a plane flying from Germany struck a flock of birds during its approach for landing. The pilots, prioritizing passenger safety, decided to abort the landing and redirected the aircraft to Budapest, where it landed without issues. In another incident, a plane coming from Istanbul was unable to land due to snow and the condition of the runway. After circling the area for about 30 minutes, the pilot decided to return to Turkey, where the aircraft arrived safely. These incidents highlight the challenges faced by civil aviation in difficult weather conditions.
