Commercial Airport FOD Prevention & Runway Safety Systems

Stop debris before it reaches the tarmac. The Airvrix FOD Barrier reduces costly engine, tire, and fuselage damage - without interrupting ground operations.

The Cost of FOD

Debris Costs the Industry Billions

Every year, foreign object debris damages engines, blows tires, gouges fuselages, delays flights, and endangers lives. The Airvrix FOD Barrier stops debris at the source.

$22.7B Total global impact per year - direct damages, operational delays, and indirect costs (FAA, 2023)
90% Proven FOD reduction in independent testing
98% Recurring FOD events eliminated
Where FOD Starts

Debris Doesn't Belong on the Runway

Most FOD begins in a non-threatening position off-runway. Jet blast from taxiing and departing aircraft pushes it onto active surfaces - where it causes damage.

Why Airports Choose Airvrix

Aviation Standards Compliant

Designed to meet aviation safety standards for runway equipment - suitable for civil and commercial airports.

Collapsible Design

All-Weather Ready

Performs in rain, snow, and heat - with integrated drainage to prevent ponding and ice buildup.

Low Maintenance

Durable patented construction requires minimal upkeep - engineered for years of continuous service.

Strategic Deployment

Installed along runway and taxiway priority zones to block debris migration from jet blast.
