Harstad/Narvik Airport in Norway faced ongoing challenges with bird activity across its airfield, particularly during seasonal migration. Several bird species posed a potential threat to aircraft safety, requiring a reliable bird deterrent system capable of covering large areas and adapting to dynamic field conditions.
To address this, the airport implemented the Purivox TA-RC System as part of its wildlife hazard management strategy. Since installation, the system has contributed to a significant reduction in bird presence, especially in high-risk zones near runways and taxiways.
The TA-RC’s remote control functionality and customizable firing intervals allowed the airport’s wildlife control team to operate the system efficiently without disrupting regular airport operations. The acoustic deterrent proved effective against a variety of bird species, and the system’s durable, weather-resistant construction performed reliably even in the harsh climatic conditions typical of northern Norway.
The successful use of the Purivox TA-RC System at Harstad/Narvik Airport demonstrates its value as a proven and effective solution for airfield bird control, enhancing safety and supporting ongoing efforts to minimize wildlife-related risks to aviation.
