A recent meeting at Muan International Airport highlighted rising bird strike incidents, sparking discussions on safety measures. Officials revealed that inadequate staff and ineffective sound deterrents fail to prevent bird encounters, especially during landings. The concern escalated after Jeju Air Flight 2216 experienced a bird strike, leading to a catastrophic crash on Dec. 29, which resulted in 179 fatalities. Following the incident, investigators discovered bird remains in the engines, raising questions about the effectiveness of current bird strike prevention strategies amid increasing numbers of incidents reported over recent years.
"Despite efforts to manage bird strikes at Muan International Airport, officials express concern over the rising incidents and inadequate measures to ensure safety for incoming flights."
"The lack of sufficient personnel and effective noise deterrents raises alarms about the risk planes face from bird encounters, particularly during critical landing phases."
