Narrative:
An Airbus A320, flight VY6281 suffered a birdstrike on the left engine just after reaching V1. Takeoff was continued, with very loud noise and vibrations coming from the left engine, and emergency was declared.
After reaching about 4000 ft the aircraft turned east to join the ILS 28 at about 12 NM from runway, and a single engine approach and landing was performed without any probleems. No passenger announcement was made until taxi back, due to the very loud cabin noise that continued for the whole flight. Aircraft currently AOG in Genova.
