INCREASING CAPABILITY The Airside Safety Survey highlights airports that intend to purchase new equipment or modify existing airside methods, and also plots emerging industry trends. The increasing stringency of airside safety guidelines has seen a number of respondents plan to expand the scope of their safety measures, with a focus on enhancing the capacity and capability of winter services for coming years. Budapest Airport is currently analysing the market for a series of new runway spreaders that spray liquid de-icers. “Budapest Airport has a project to change the technologies of surface de-icing and snow melting, including the changing of chemicals that are used, spreaders and storage technologies as well.” Amsterdam Airport Schiphol said: “We started by our Environmental Authority.

We are also restricted to 25g/m² Stavanger Airport said: “Based on experience, At Prague Ruzyne Airport “the main method of bird control is falconry. The airport has employed a group of falconers who protect the movement area with specially trained falcons, hawks and eagles. The method is based not only on the fact that the falconers hunt the wild birds but also on the fact that the birds feel threatened and choose not to remain in the airport area.” Meanwhile, Genève Aéroport utilises weapons such as whistling cartridges (6mm and 9mm), mid-range exploding cartridges (26.5mm), long range silent – then exploding – rockets discharged from revolvers and a fully equipped bird strike prevention vehicle. Athens International Airport has implemented a number of audio-harassment measures to deter birds, bats, rodents and animals from lingering on airport grounds, including 13 self- made sound devices based on car CD players and installed in airport vehicles, which broadcast distress calls developed in co-operation with university specialists.
