A Germania Airbus A321-200, registration D-ASTE performing flight ST-2276 from Bremen (Germany) to Adana (Turkey) with 133 passengers, was in the initial climb out of Bremen's runway 27 when an engine (CFM56) ingested birds and emitted two loud bangs and streaks of flame. The crew stopped the climb at 3000 feet, shut the engine down and returned to Bremen for a safe landing on runway 27 about 20 minutes after departure.
Bremen's police reported the engine caught fire prompting the immediate reaction by the crew and return to Bremen.
The airline reported the engine ingested birds, confirmed there were bangs and streaks of flame, however the engine never caught fire as claimed by police (editorial note: bangs and streaks of flames usually are the result of compressor stalls or engine surges as result of disruption of air flow).
