Chinese Aviation Strengthen bird deterrent measures

Airports across China are required to closely monitor winter bird migration patterns and reinforce bird deterrent measures to ensure the safety of air travels, said an official of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on Friday.

At a press conference in Beijing, the Security Director of the CAAC stated that the institution has long conducted safety assessments and risk investigations on flight operations in accordance with China’s civil aviation laws and regulations, as well as relevant international civil aviation standards.

The CAAC promptly issues safety risk warnings to airlines that may be affected and adjusts flight routes to ensure safe operations. In addition, efforts have been strengthened to mitigate the risk of bird strikes.
