How Airports Keep Birds Away from Runways: A Report from Corrèze and Loire-Atlantique

While bird strikes are relatively rare in the region, with only one to two incidents per year, France sees about 1,400 bird strikes annually. Granchamp’s efforts, which include using sound and a non-lethal approach, aim to protect both the aircraft and the wildlife.
