On 19 November 2022 an Airbus A320 was descending below 13,000 feet towards its destination Omaha clear of cloud at night and at 290 knots when an explosive decompression occurred as a result of bird strike damage. An emergency was declared and once on the ground, three locations where the fuselage skin had been broken open were discovered. The structural damage was assessed as substantial and the aircraft was withdrawn from service for major repairs. The birds involved were identified by DNA analysis as migrating Snow or Ross’s Geese, the former of which can weigh up to 2.6kg.
