China Southern A332 at Zhuhai on Nov 10th 2014, bird strike

A China Southern Airbus A330-200, registration B-6059 performing flight CZ-3739 from Zhuhai to Beijing (China), departed Zhuhai's runway 05 without apparent problem and climbed to cruise level FL370, when the left hand engine (Trent 772) emitted a loud bang and streaks of flames followed by a burning smell developing in the cabin. The crew turned the aircraft around and diverted to Ghuangzhou, about 60nm north of Zhuhai, for a safe landing about 45 minutes after departure.

A replacement Airbus A330-200 registration B-6058 reached Beijing with a delay of 4.5 hours.

The airline subsequently reported the engine surge was the result of a bird strike on departure from Zhuhai.
