Thousands of incidents of bird strikes with the airborne aircraft are reported every year across the world. Some of these incidents/accidents have caused a huge financial loss because of the damage to the aircraft. A few of such accidents have put the lives of the aircrew and the passengers to danger. In this paper, we have listed the major potential birds present in and around the airports, which are likely to strike the aircraft. Further, we have discussed in this paper: (i) what are the major attractions in and around the airport area for these birds to roost, settle and fly? (ii) What are the most likely timings in the day and the favourable situations which cause these birds to strike the aircraft? (iii) What steps should be taken for the landscape in and around the airports to make them unattractive for the birds? (iv) What should be the non-lethal non-laser as well as laser-based techniques employed to dissuade these birds from hitting the airborne aircraft? The laser-bird interaction studies, analysis and advantages have been discussed in more details in this paper. Finally we have reviewed the strategies to be adopted to tackle this menace of bird-aircraft strike more effectively in order to minimize such incidents.
