Black Kites Pose Safety Challenges at Pune Airfield; IAF Implements Deterrent Measures
Black kites pose a significant safety challenge at Pune Airfield, where military and civilian flights share a runway. Their size, flying behavior, and year-round presence increase the risk of bird strikes, especially during take-off and landing. The Indian Air Force is addressing this by installing bird deterrent systems, conducting patrols, and collaborating with local authorities to manage garbage and reduce bird attraction near the airfield, aiming to enhance aviation safety.
