As many as nine, seventeen and eleven bird strike cases were reported at the airport in 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively.
Bird strikes are a major issue for all airports as it may lead to severe accidents
The accumulation of waste at the airport vicinity, especially in the Chakkai-All Saints' College Junction stretch, has been found as the reason for the rise in number of bird strikes at the airport.
