In January 2009, a US Airways flight made an emergency landing into the Hudson River after colliding with a flock of Canada geese following takeoff from New York City’s LaGuardia Airport. The now famous Miracle on the Hudson and similar incidents have raised public awareness of the potential hazards of wildlife to aviation. Wildlife inhabiting areas in and around airports can pose a very real threat to the integrity of airport facilities and to aircraft safety.
