Of around 302 bird hits reported in 2009 at 79 airports in the country, close to 54 occurred in Mumbai.
Responding to an RTI query by DNA, the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said the number of bird hits in the city had gone up from 26 in 2007 to 54.
However, the DGCA revealed that Delhi still recorded the maximum number of hits each year.
