Situations like this are incredibly scary for both passengers and pilots and it’s great to read that Palma airport have taken steps (with the birds of prey) to try and combat the problem. At Scarecrow Group we supply many airports with bioacoustics technology to deter birds from airports, possibly something for Palma airport to consider?
