How can drivers prevent wildlife encounters on the airside?

Remaining vigilant and reporting any wildlife sightings to Airport Operations is essential in preventing wildlife encounters on the airside. Being aware of one's surroundings allows drivers to identify potential risks early and take appropriate action. Reporting sightings to Airport Operations is crucial, as it enables airport personnel to take necessary measures to manage and mitigate wildlife hazards effectively. This proactive approach contributes significantly to overall safety in the airside environment, ensuring that wildlife encounters are minimized and addressed swiftly.

While designated wildlife deterrents can be helpful, they are most effective when combined with vigilant monitoring and reporting from drivers. Driving at higher speeds, on the other hand, would increase the risk of collisions with wildlife rather than reduce them. Avoiding areas known for wildlife is important as well, but it may not always be feasible in all situations, making vigilance and communication vital in the management of wildlife encounters.
