A KLM Boeing 737-800, registration PH-BXV performing flight KL-1147 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Oslo (Norway), was accelerating for takeoff from Amsterdam's runway 36L when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 135 knots over ground) reporting a bird strike. The aircraft slowed safely, taxied to the runway end to turn around to backtrack the runway and vacated the runway onto the first taxiway off the runway while emergency services responded.
The next departure already lined up waiting for departure was delayed by about 10 minutes until the Boeing 737-800 had vacated the runway and the runway had been inspected for possible bird debris.
About one hour after rejecting takeoff KL-1147 taxied to the apron with emergency services in trail, refueled for another hour and taxied to the holding point runway 36L. This time the aircraft departed without further incident and reached Oslo with a delay of 2.5 hours.
