Aviation hazards from flocks of birds,

Feb 08, 2025

Seoul [South Korea], February 8: South Korean authorities have ordered the installation of bird-detecting cameras and radar systems at all airports in the country following the Jeju Air plane crash late last year that killed 179 people. The pilot was warned of the risk of hitting a bird, and preliminary reports showed blood and feathers in both engines. Tests matched the DNA of the Baikal teal, a migratory duck common in South Korea during the winter, according to Reuters. Although a final conclusion has not been made, bird strikes are considered a potential cause of the crash.
