The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has decided to install bird repellent systems at major airports in a plan to protect aircraft from collisions with birds.
CAA has issued an international tender for installation of bird repellent system.
Sources say that Bird Repellent System will be installed at Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore Airports.
CAA tender security fee of Rs 5 crore 29 lakh is directed to be submitted along with the application.
Installing bird repellent systems at airports will help in safe flight operations of aircraft.
Sources say that airlines lose millions of dollars annually due to bird strikes.
Dozens of incidents of bird strikes with planes are reported every year at Pakistan’s airports, while there is also a fear of major accidents due to bird strikes with planes.
It should be noted that bird repellent systems are installed at major airports around the world to protect aircraft from birds.
