Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Between 2022 and 2024, 26 bird species belonging to 8 orders, 18 families, and 14 genera that pose a threat to aircraft during the breeding season were identified at Heydar Aliyev International Airport. Based on their settlement characteristics within the airport area, 15 species from 4 orders, 10 families, and 13 genera were classified as resident populations, while 11 species from 4 orders, 8 families, and 11 genera were classified as migratory-nesting populations. The probability of bird-aircraft collisions was assessed: 5 species scored between 0-20 points, 8 species between 20-40 points, 1 species between 40-60 points, 4 species between 60-80 points, and 8 species between 80-100 points.
