In February this year, an aircraft of the German company Lufthansa with 296 passengers aboard had to return to Ezeiza after that as a result of a collision birds, one of its turbines will report failures.

bird strikes are becoming more frequent, perhaps due to increased global air traffic, a new generation of quieter engines and the growing number of wide-body aircraft (wide body).

In our country there are rare incidents and it is important for aviation personnel (pilots, drivers, mechanics, airport operators, etc.) Aware of the importance of using the reporting tools provided, either to inform presence of birds in the airport movement area or to report bird strikes, but this did not have structural implications for the aircraft.

All aviation personnel should be trained and raised awareness of the danger that birds and other wildlife, pose to aviation safety and should be given more publicity to the measures can take preventive.

The establishment and regular meeting of the Airport Committee for Bird / Wildlife Hazard is a fundamental tool to analyze the progress of the program to limit the airport wildlife, discuss the effectiveness of the methods of dispersal and environmental control measures implemented and to propose corrective and overcome in order to mitigate the risk posed by birds and other wildlife for navigation.
