The jet experienced a bird strike to its No. 2 engine shortly after takeoff and returned to the airport for an inspection and an assessment, Allegiant spokeswoman Hilarie Grey said. “The aircraft landed safely and taxied to the gate under its own power, where passengers deplaned normally,” she said.
