    For anyone interested, an EK 777 is out doing high powered engine runs at the engine test bay.
    Same aircraft that's been there since Tuesday.

    Didn't know that, thanks.

    On a side note, why didn't they return to Dubai after the bird strike?

    Just to correct one issue, according to FR24, having arrived in the late evening, the aircraft operated the following morning at 0345 to Casablanca, so whatever needed doing didn't take that long to resolve.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    If they have no indications of damage, there is no need to return.

    Indeed.
    There were no indications other than a short lived smell of burning feathers.
