The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) is set to take delivery of bird strike fighting equipment from Canada to curtail the threat of the menace at the airports.
Managing Director, FAAN Olubunmi Kuku,at a meeting with the executives and members of Airline Operators of Nigeria( AON) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos on Tuesday, regretted the menace of bird strike incidents of airline operators in the country.
Kuku also agreed that there are numerous infrastructural challenges in the industry, but assured that the management is not relenting on its oars at tackling them headlong.
She also said that rather than the early morning cutting of grasses method adopted by FAAN in the past, which attracted birds to the airports, the agency now cut grasses at night.
