During acceleration on rwy 18 a bang was heared, crew aborted takeoff and came to a full stop on rwy. Examination of the aircraft by the crew lead to findings of evidence of a birdstrike on the left side of the fuselage. KLM headquarters declared the aircraft not airworthy before engineers clearance, because it was not sure if the bird went thorug the left engine or not. No visible damage was found to the engine. An engineer for the aircraft type was not avaliable at RIX so the flight was disembarked and cancelled.
