Gov't to improve landing facilities and bird strike prevention at 7 airports nationwide

New safety measures will be initiated for fire prevention, fishing operations, and aviation.

At Friday's meeting between the government and the ruling People Power Party, they announced detailed measures to prevent the recurrence of recent accidents.

Following a passenger aircraft accident that resulted in 179 casualties last year, landing facilities and bird strike prevention equipment at seven airports nationwide will be improved.

Also, due to consecutive fishing boat capsizings, fishing crews will receive free inflatable life jackets.

And nearly 2-thousand construction sites will be urgently inspected until March 17th, while fire safety laws will be revised to prevent massive on-site fires.
