Taking off on runway 05, at rotation, the aircraft encountered a flock of seagulls and several birds collided with it, hitting engines, fuselage, wing and landing gear.
At same time high vibration was sensed and engine vibration indication increased to maximum, in both engines, but no significant power loss occurred.

Landing was uneventful and the aircraft taxied to the ramp, by its own means.

A visual inspection to the aircraft detected several blood stains in different aircraft parts and impact deformation of some fan blades, in both engines (tip curl). A borescopic inspection was performed to High Pressure Compressor’s stages 1, 3 & 8, Combustion Chambers and Boosters (as per AMM 72-00-00-200-001) founding no further damage.
