GARBAGE ON GROUND,IMPACT IN MID-AIR.
Thiruvananthpuram,India : Illegal meat and fish stalls and five garbage dumps in the vicinity of Thiruvananthapuram international airport are posing a safety hazard to the aircraft landing and taking off from there.
Six bird strikes occurred at the airport last year. Till July this year, three bird strikes were reported, forcing the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to be on the guard against these threats to flight safety.
The Airfield Environment Management Committee (AEMC) with the Secretary, Transport, as the chairman, and the Airport Director as convener, has found that open meat and fish stalls at Sulaiman Street, Ponnara Bridge Road, All Saints College area, Sanghumughom beach, Muttathara, and Kochuveli station road are safety hazards for aircraft as they increase avian activity.
