Airports
No more bird hazard
No more last-minute bird flocks entering your runway area and posing the risk of life-threatening and cost-inducing incidents. Volacom’s proprietary bird control solutions could save millions of dollars for aviation industry stakeholders, including airports, airlines, airplane manufacturers, insurance companies and passengers.
More than 80% of wildlife strikes happen during the take-off run, climb, approach, and landing roll flight phases within 460m / 1500ft max altitude. Our solutions create a bird-free safety zone around the airport runway and its adjacent area, thus minimizing collision risks where they are most likely to occur. The technology we use does not interfere with other airport systems and the products, applicable to airports are fully compliant with ICAO , FAA, and EASA safety regulations.
Volacom offers a variety of bird control solutions for airports, from fully autonomous detection and deterrence systems, custom-built on an airport-by-airport basis, to deterrence- or detection-only, automatically or manually operated standardized products.
