In response to the deadly Jeju Air Flight 2216 incident, South Korea is implementing a series of aviation safety measures, including deploying drones at airports to prevent bird strikes. The government plans to replace older concrete localizer structures that contributed to severe crash outcomes with frangible materials, combat pilot fatigue, and increase safety supervisors. Investigations indicated that bird strikes played a role in the crash, and the new drone technology aims to proactively manage bird populations near airports to enhance flight safety moving forward.
"The government will begin deploying drones to airports to prevent bird strikes, part of an overhaul of aviation safety following the country's deadliest aviation disaster."
"In addition to drones, the government is taking steps to improve infrastructure, combat pilot fatigue, and increase the number of safety supervisors after the Jeju Air Flight 2216 disaster."
