The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) is set to install a new bird detection radar at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), bringing relief to airline operators who have been severely inconvenienced by costly damage to aircraft.

Bird detection radar detects the size of birds and their movement paths and relays this information to air traffic controllers, who then alert pilots and safety crew to take action.
