An Air India Express Airbus A320-200, registration VT-EXC performing flight IX-2658 from Visakhapatnam to Hyderabad (India) with 103 people on board, was climbing out of Visakhapatnam's runway 10 when the crew stopped the climb at FL090 reporting a problem with one of their engines (CFM56) due to a suspected bird strike. The aircraft returned to Visakhapatnam for a safe landing on runway 28 about 20 minutes after departure.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Visakhapatnam about 35 hours after landing back.
