An Air Dolomiti Embraer ERJ-195 on behalf of Lufthansa, registration I-ADJP performing flight EN-8223/LH-9477 from Verona (Italy) to Frankfurt/Main (Germany), was accelerating for takeoff from Verona's runway 22 (length 3070 meters/10,060 feet) when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed detecting both engines (CF34) ingested birds. The aircraft slowed safely and came to a stop within the touch down zone of runway 04. Emergency services responded and checked the aircraft, that subsequently taxied to the apron, where passengers disembarked normally.

The flight was cancelled, the passengers were rebooked onto other flights.

A passenger reported, that following the slow down of the aircraft a burning smell developed on board. The captain announced both engines had suffered bird strikes. Emergency services responded and concentrated only on the left hand engine, afterwards the aircraft taxied to an apron stand, where the passengers disembarked.

Examination of the aircraft revealed the left hand engine had indeed ingested a number of seagulls, sea gulls had also impacted the radome, the right hand engine however was unaffected.
