At Air Transport Wing Aalborg in Denmark, bird activity represents a persistent threat to air traffic safety. A wide variety of bird species—without restriction to specific types—regularly appear in and around the airport, increasing the risk of bird strikes during takeoff, landing, and ground movements.
To address this issue, a comprehensive bird control strategy is in place, aimed at minimizing bird presence within the airport’s operational areas. A key component of this strategy is the Purivox TA-RC System, an advanced bird dispersal device that uses acoustic signals to effectively deter birds from entering protected zones.
The protection area encompasses the entire airport, including runways, taxiways, aprons, and adjacent fields. Through the combined use of the Purivox TA-RC System, regular monitoring, and habitat management, the airbase ensures a high level of flight safety and operational readiness.
