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.

Since deploying Flox, the airport has seen a noticeable drop in bird activity around the airfield.

“We’ve been using Flox’s adaptive bioacoustics for several months now, and the quality has been excellent. It gives us an effective way to safely guide birds away from the runway area when needed. Species like magpies and crows respond instantly to the clear, well-tuned sound variations. The wide range of options allows us to experiment and find what works best for our environment.”

The success at Mora Airport adds a strong reference case for wider adoption in aviation world-wide.
