Understanding the dangers and costs of bird strikes in aviation

Credited from: NPR

  • A tragic plane crash in South Korea has raised questions about the potential role of bird strikes, which are increasingly common.
  • The control tower issued a bird warning shortly before the flight’s landing, indicating heightened concern over such incidents.
  • Despite rigorous safety measures, bird strikes cost airlines millions annually and can lead to severe accidents, though fatalities are rare.
  • Statistics from the FAA and USDA show extensive damage can lead to repair costs as high as $500 million per year in the U.S.
  • Ongoing research aims to improve safety, including studying avian radar technology to help manage wildlife near airports.
