THE Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines has demonstrated its commitment to environmental sustainability and aviation safety by successfully concluding a three-day Airport Wildlife Management Course at the Civil Aviation Training Center late last week.
This initiative underscores CAAP’s proactive approach to addressing wildlife hazards, such as bird strikes, which pose significant risks to aircraft. By equipping its personnel with specialized knowledge and skills in wildlife management, CAAP aims to enhance airport operations, improve air traffic safety, and protect local biodiversity, the agency said.
CAAP Director General Manuel Antonio Tamayo emphasized the importance of this course, stating, “Through this training, we expand our understanding of wildlife hazards and implement strategies to mitigate these risks, ultimately leading to more efficient operations and safer air travel.”“Shifting migratory patterns and altered bird populations have increased the frequency of bird strikes, potentially causing aircraft damage, flight delays, and, in rare cases, fatalities,” Tamayo said.
CAAP expressed its gratitude to Mastermark, whose expert wildlife management specialists provided comprehensive training on various techniques to minimize wildlife-related incidents at airports. As the aviation industry strives for a more sustainable future, CAAP remains dedicated to balancing safety, efficiency, and environmental protection, Tamayo added.
