"The Fenerbahce players were on board and are now safely waiting for another aircraft, on which they will continue their journey to England." Fenerbahce are scheduled to play a Europa League match at Man United today.
The plane reported "loss of cabin pressure due to a ruptured windscreen" after an unknown object hit it, Hardy said. "It happens once every few months, it's inconvenient but not a drama."
The club added in a statement from Istanbul that a bird had hit the cockpit window.
