Most major bird strikes such as the recent one in New York, don't
happen within the precincts of an airport, so how do the airlines
expect the airports to control birds there? I believe there have been
bird strikes recorded at altitudes of between 6-10,000 metres, and an
aircraft has been recorded as hitting a Rüppells Vulture at 11,000+
Metres over Africa. I think it is about time the airlines faced up to
their responsibilities. But then they cost money, don't they.

money to

is the responsibility of the airports to provide a safe environment
(air-space around the airport) when planes are taking off or coming into
land.
