Malaga Airport in Spain witnessed an unusual alert after a huge bird was likely to be injured, from the Flamingo family, on one of the main runways, causing air traffic confusion and forcing aircraft coming from Britain to re -rise instead of landing.
A huge bird disrupts the air traffic at Malaga Airport
According to Surininglish, according to air traffic monitors, the injured bird settled on runway No. 31, which imposed on the pilots the application of maneuvering “escape from landing” known in air safety measures, to avoid any possible collision and ensure the safety of passengers and aircraft.
The incident directly affected the Ryan Air trip coming from Nottingham, and another of the company “Wizer” from London, where the pilots were forced to cancel the landing and re -attempt after making sure that the runway is completely evacuated. After the airport teams intervened and removed the bird from the site, the air operations were resumed naturally without other damage.
These accidents bring back to the forefront the increasing risks of birds and animals on air navigation, especially in the stages of takeoff or landing, where the most sensitive moments of flights are considered. Earlier this month, an Iberia plane was forced to return to Madrid airport after it collided with Benner, which caused great damage to the plane and caused anxiety among passengers.
To reduce such incidents, Malaga Airport depends on specialized teams to monitor wildlife, where hawks, eagles, and arms are used to remove birds and animals from the runways, as part of a comprehensive plan to ensure the flow of aviation movement and reduce environmental risks on air navigation.
