WestJet flight WS131, a Boeing 737-7CT, executed a high-speed rejected takeoff due to a bird strike on the number 1 engine. The flight crew advised ATC and airport rescue and fire-fighting was dispatched. Brakes had seized due to heat so aircraft was disabled on runway. Crew and passengers were deplaned and transported back to terminal.
Maintenance personnel replaced the seized brakes and the aircraft was towed back to the hangar for further inspection.
The incident aircraft resumed regular service 38 hours after the event.
