A Condor Boeing 767-300, registration D-ABUB performing flight DE-7264 from Mombasa (Kenya) to Zanzibar (Tanzania), rejected takeoff from Mombasa at high speed (approx 90 knots) after a heron was ingested into the left hand engine (PW4060). The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.

A subsequent engine inspection determined that the engine was not damaged and the heron had not entered the engine core. Following engine run ups the aircraft was released to continue the flight about 2.5 hours after rejecting takeoff.

The aircraft completed the leg to Tanzania, an occupant commented "inclusive smell of a chicken coop", and returned to Frankfurt as flight DE-7265 arriving in Frankfurt with a delay of 2 hours.
