timidate and hunt birds in the movement area, other airports opt for an ordnance-based system of control. Bremen Airport for example uses 48 stationary shotguns and auxiliary pyrotechnics, and Split Airport utilises a rocket gun and the Bird-X Mega Blaster Pro. Athens International Airport meanwhile has implemented audio- harassment measures to deter the presence of animals, including distress calls recorded in cooperation with university specialists, and also manipulates infrastructure. Food, water, and roosting places are minimised either by applying the proper designs at the initial master plan of the airport, with the application of various long- term measures if new attractants are detected.

The survey also identified that more than half of participating airports intend to purchase new equipment. In the interest of expanding the scope of its safety measures, Geneva Interna- tional has decided to buy four Boschung Jetb- room sweeper blowers with snow blades and one extra rotary snowplough, as well as two GPSs to guide the snow plough during the cleaning of the runway and runway edge lights. Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport meanwhile will tender and purchase a new CFME (Friction Measuring Equipment) with self-watering system in 2014, and as part of its Midterm Plan, two new runway sweepers will be purchased – the finalisation of the technical parameters is ongoing.
