The airline sent out a lighthearted tweet Tuesday indicating that repairs had been made. "A flock, a flyby and a quick freshen up. Thanks to our #AATeam, nose-body even knows."
The airline confirmed the plane was back in service. "Yes it is. Just a quick "spa" day and back in the skies!" they tweeted back in response to a question from CBSDFW's twitter account.
After the bird strike last week, flight 2310, with 150 passengers, returned to Sea-Tac airport after takeoff and landed safely.
