PAA Safety Notice: Prevent Monsoon Bird Strikes by Proper Waste Disposal

Issuer: Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA). This public safety notice warns that during the monsoon season the number of birds near airports increases, raising the risk of bird strikes with aircraft. Accumulated and exposed waste attracts birds and can contribute to aviation hazards.

Key guidance and required actions:

- Keep the area around homes and facilities clean; do not dump garbage in open spaces near airports.
- Use covered bins and dispose of waste in sealed bags.
- Avoid open landfill or organic waste piles that attract birds.

Purpose: Reduce bird congregations near aerodromes to protect flight safety and prevent bird-strike incidents.
