But like many smaller airports surrounded by forests and lakes, it faces recurring wildlife hazards—especially bird activity involving blackbirds, seagulls, and corvids, as well as occasional incidents with deer and elk entering the airfield.
In May 2025, Mora Airport in Sweden began collaborating with Flox to strengthen its wildlife management efforts. By working with Flox, the airport now uses species-specific deterrence to keep birds and mammals away from the airfield area —before they become a risk.
The system operates continuously and adapts to local wildlife behavior, offering a proactive, non-lethal solution to reduce birdstrike risk and improve operational safety. The work is ongoing as part of a broader initiative to modernize wildlife control with precision and care.

As one of Sweden’s largest forest owners, Holmen manages vast areas of productive woodland where browsing by elk and deer causes significant damage to young trees—threatening regeneration, long-term forest value, and biodiversity goals.
As one of Europe’s busiest hubs, Barcelona Airport handles tens of millions of passengers each year—making safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility top priorities.
As one of Sweden’s leading infrastructure and logistics operators in the north, BDX Rail manages critical freight and transport routes across vast, wildlife-dense landscapes.
