An Air France Airbus A320-200, registration F-GKXA performing flight AF-1533 from Athens (Greece) to Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) with 152 passengers and 6 crew, was climbing through 4000 feet out of Athens when the crew reported a sea gull had impacted the left hand engine (CFM56) during rotation but there was no engine failure and asked whether debris had been found on the runway. The crew requested to level off at FL100, then reported some abnormal engine parameters and vibration of the engine and decided to return to Athens. Athens reported a sea gull in multiple large pieces was recovered from the departure runway. The airplane burned fuel overhead Egina and landed safely on Athens' runway 03R about 30 minutes after departure.
