SubscribeScarecrow Bio-Acoustic Systems reports SIX vehicle based SCARECROW PREMIER 1500's have been supplied to Delhi International Airport to combat a growing and serious bird problem there.
The number of nuisance birds at Delhi Airport rocketed to such a grave extent that Airport Operators were seriously concerned about aircraft and passenger safety. The problem, exasperated by illegal meat traders situated on the flight path close to the airport and attracting large flocks of scavenging birds, was getting worse day by day and costing airports thousands of pounds per year.
Aman Bhatia, MD of Oriental Airport Systems Scarecrow's Agents in India, comments,
"This is the first of many installations in India for Scarecrow as three other airports, suffering similar problems to that of Delhi, have also placed orders for this bird dispersal technology. Many airlines have suffered bird hits at Indian airports, it's a serious and expensive safety and environmental hazard."
Years of innovative research has led to the development of pioneering technology which has firmly positioned Scarecrow Bio-Acoustic Systems as an international authority in the science of bio-acoustic bird dispersal, a humane and proven method of removing unwanted birds. Scarecrow's birdstrike avoidance products have achieved global success as its state-of-the-art devices can now be found in over 20 countries including Australia, Canada,United Arab Emirates and now India.
With worldwide demand growing yearly, Scarecrow's products are recognised by airside operators as a responsible and necessary contribution to maintaining high birdstrike avoidance safety standards at airports.
Legislation has in recent years become tougher and more specific about the responsibility of airports with respect to safety measures and standards, prompting the use of high technology solutions and documented control. However, many regulatory laws in India are not being implemented, for example having open meat shops near airports and poor rubbish collection. Airlines, budget, charter and scheduled, are becoming fully aware of the financial cost of birdstrikes and the aircraft down-time these cause, let alone the ultimate potential of loss of life and aircraft.
