Athens International Airport (AIA) in cooperation with the Hellenic Ornithological Society is hosting a new photo exhibition titled «Birds and aircraft in parallel flights» within the airport premises from September 9th till December 31st, 2013.
 
Through 30 snapshots of birds and aircraft captured by Greek and foreign photographers and the accompanying printed and audiovisual material, the exhibition’s visitors will have the opportunity to come closer to the world of birds of Greek nature, noting their similarities in shape and motion with different types of modern aircraft.
 
The morphological comparison of birds with corresponding aircraft types, promotes as common ground the journey to destinations across borders and distances. But also, through the same allegory this exhibition reminds us of the importance of protecting birds and their habitats, as well as the actions that need to be carried out to ensure a sustainable environment, both for birds and for humans.
