A Denver-bound flight from Vancouver International Airport was forced to abort Friday after what United Airlines says was a possible bird strike.

United Flight 1184 was scheduled to take off at 12:30 p.m. and was rescheduled for 7:15 p.m.

United spokeswoman Kimberly Gibbs says in a statement that passengers were returned to the terminal and a maintenance crew inspected the aircraft.

She says the airlines was working to get passengers to their final destinations as quickly as possible.
