Karachi and Lahore airports to get ‘bird repellent’ systems

As a step to avert bird strikes, The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) has decided to install the acoustic bird repellent system at the country’s airports to ensure flight safety. According to PCAA officials, the system will be installed mainly at Karachi and Lahore airports. The PCAA has also contacted several well-reputed firms and individuals having experience in wildlife management preferably at airports to work out a feasibility report in this regard. Bird strikes have consistently occurred at the country’s airports due to lack of cleanliness in the adjacent populated areas, posing a serious risk not only to aircraft but the lives of passengers as well.
