Abstract
This study provides the methodological approach for deploying bird repellent system at airport.
The airport chosen for deployability is Walton Aerodrome Lahore, and system for deployment is
distress call system. The project is divided into two categories, evaluation of airport and distress
call system effectiveness check. Evaluation process of Walton Airport consists of survey of Pilots
as well as Engineers, and observation of airport. During evaluation it was identified that Black
Kite, Crow and Pigeon are the 88% of total number of birds and responsible for 95 % of bird strike
at aerodrome. It was identified during distress call system effectiveness check that system works
effectively on Pigeons, also the habitual condition, nesting behaviour, and attraction of crows is
identified. Although system can play a role on rainy day but the system didn’t work on Kites and
Crows so it is not recommended for Walton Aerodrome Lahore
