A Rossiya Airbus A320-200, registration VQ-BCG performing flight FV-6635 from St. Petersburg (Russia) to Paris Charles de Gaulle (France), was accelerating for takeoff from Pulkovo Airport's runway 28R when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed due to the right hand engine (CFM56) ingesting birds. The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.

Russia's Rosaviatsia reported the right hand engine received damage due to the inefficiency of ornithological support for flights. A number of safety recommendations were released to the airport to improve wildlife management.
