Bird Strike Prevention Systems: The Case of Istanbul Airport
Öz
Throughout history, humans have desired to fly. To achieve flight, they have observed birds and taken them as models. With the advancement of technology, airplanes have become one of the most commonly used modes of transportation today. The incident known as bird strike has taken its place in the literature as one of the factors endangering flight safety. While bird strikes have various causes, various measures are taken to minimize this incident. This study attempts to explain the reasons for bird strikes. Additionally, the methods implemented by Istanbul Airport, one of the busiest airports in Europe, to prevent bird strikes are explained. Following a comprehensive literature review, interviews were conducted with the Operations Director and appointed Ornithologists at Istanbul Airport to gather information about the methods employed. Various methods for deterring birds have been identified at Istanbul Airport. These methods are explained in detail.
