Last month, Heathrow Airport celebrated 80 years since it first opened its doors to passengers. A milestone for one of the world’s busiest airports. From humble beginnings; tents, wooden walkways, and a basic airfield - it has grown into one of the most complex and connected transport hubs on the planet. Beyond the destinations, the departures, and the arrivals, there’s another story. One built on infrastructure, engineering, and collaboration.

Air travel is one of the safest modes of transport in the world, but behind that safety lies a constant, often unseen challenge: managing wildlife around airports. Among the most significant risks are bird strikes, where birds collide with aircraft during take-off, landing, or flight. While dramatic incidents capture headlines, the real story is far broader, and far more proactive.

The Easter bank holiday weekend is finally here! For many, that means one thing - travel. Whether you’re jetting off somewhere warm, heading to the coast, or enjoying a slower-paced break closer to home, it’s one of the busiest travel periods of the year. We exist to make projects simpler, safer, and more predictable.
