A Philippine Airlines Airbus A320 hit a bird while landing at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Monday night.

The flight made a safe landing and there were no injuries.

Mechanics found bloodstains on the wing of the A320 but there appears to be no serious damage to the aircraft.

“The number of ‘birdstrikes’ at NAIA has been steadily increasing over the past months as reported by PAL and other airlines operating in Manila’s premiere international airport,” the airline said.
