Reducing the risk of bird strikes

Aircraft coming into contact with birds is an expensive and avoidable event. Almost 75% of all these occurrences happen below 500ft during take-off and landing.

In order to reduce the risk of bird strikes, understanding where birds thrive and how this impacts aircraft is key.

With information gathered from wildlife specialists around the world, a number of key habitats likely to attract birdlife (large and small) were identified.
