The recommendation includes addressing issues related to the plant nurseries, Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh slaughterhouse, livestock pens and camps located in the area. Committee Chairperson Alia Al-Farsi stated that the meeting reviewed the decision of the Public Services Committee at the Cabinet about the request of DGCA to take urgent and temporary measures to prevent bird flocks near the airport. Al-Farsi added that the committee recommended gradually assessing the impact of temporary measures in coordination with the DGCA by establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to evaluate their effect on bird behavior and population density along the runway at the airport.
The discussion also touched on the need to find permanent solutions, such as identifying an alternative site for the landfill adjacent to the airport, given the risk it poses to the aviation sector. Al-Farsi disclosed that the committee recommended clarifying the status of implementing the plan of the Kuwait Municipality to convert the South Seventh Ring Road landfill into a waste treatment facility. This recommendation is based on the response of the executive body about the solid waste management plan and the need to expedite the implementation of the relevant Municipal Council resolution issued on July 14, 2025.
