Runway Safety

Runway safety refers to the practices and protocols designed to ensure that runways—where airplanes take off and land—are secure and free from obstacles. This includes preventing unauthorized access, managing wildlife that could pose hazards, and ensuring that runway conditions are safe for aircraft operations. Runway safety is critical for preventing accidents and ensuring the smooth flow of air traffic. Airports conduct regular inspections, implement safety measures, and train personnel to uphold these standards, ultimately prioritizing the safety of passengers, crew, and aircraft.
