Nationally, bird strikes have resulted in more than 550,000 hours of aircraft down time and costs civil and military aviation more than $625 million every year from engine and/or aircraft damages and flight delays and cancellations. More importantly, with approximately 50 % of bird strikes damaging the engine(s), aircraft crew members and their passengers' lives are put at high risk. Over 219 people have been killed worldwide as a result of wildlife strikes since 1988. The recent bird strike mishap of US Airways flight 1549 has re-focused the aviation industry in working to reduce bird strike related risks. Aviation Week's Bird Strike Prevention Forum will bring together executives from leading aviation operations, such as airlines and airports, and industry experts to share best practices on minimizing bird strikes, including: Policies/standards for airports and aircraft operations related to wildlife hazards Bird habitat management and control techniques New technologies and advancements to reduce wildlife hazards Wildlife strike reporting/statistics in relation to safety management systems Aircraft engines/components performance and standards related to wildlife hazards Join your peers for two days of networking, relationship building and insights from foremost operators, manufacturers and industry leaders to share real-world strategies on minimizing risks of bird strikes and improving safety.

As a result, capacity is being cut like never before in order to optimize revenue and minimize preventable financial losses. With the economy forcing air travel and budget cuts, revenue management, finance and capacity planning professionals need to ensure profitability now more than ever. We must ask ourselves: How do airlines determine though when capacity cuts begin to impact their bottom line? How can airlines accurately forecast demand to ensure that capacity cuts or increases will generate profit? How can fleet managers determine whether or not new aircraft acquisition will yield a positive ROI? During this engaging and insightful, case-study driven event you will gain answers to those questions and many more. This forum will showcase proven success strategies and processes that can be leveraged by airlines to effectively forecast and predict market demand, develop a competitive pricing strategy and more.
