An Aeromexico Boeing 737-800 aircraft allegedly collided with a drone as it approached the runway at an airport in Tijuana, Mexico, according to local media. The Boeing 737-800 (reg. XA-ADV) sustained damage to its radome and weather radar on approach to runway 09 at Tijuana International Airport, Mexico.

HA HA HA HA!
few if any airlines will pay for safety features other than those that will affect their bottom line. It is a business. Safety does not sell in a highly regulated environment. I agree with Cansojr. Something serious has to happen. ex: little change following Malaysia 370.
What safety features? Installing a new brain in the operator?
Would like to see confirmation that it was, in effect ad drone. Embedded pieces? Even micro- remains? That said, can't see any bird splatter on the radome. Is that always the case?
Cheers

It is only a matter of time until a major incident occurs due to a drone. The operators just don't get the implications of a collision with a large fast moving aircraft.
SOME operators. On the other hand, there are those who bend over backwards to not only meet, but exceed the safety regulations currently in effect.
But like all crime, it is not practical to put a cop on every corner. So sadly, we will end up with some sort of disaster before people realize the consequences of their actions.

I am not sure if FAA or Transport Canada rules are included with the purchase of a drone,or even if the sales person is aware of the restrictions. I have friends who use them for real estate photography,tourist advertising,off season hunting scouting and landscaping. They all found out AFTER they bought them,that there were major restrictions re air space and proximity to air fields.
Sounds just like the type of person who has there head in the sand. I would think that they were so smart due to what they do research before buying anything would be the KEY.
My use of the word "airlines" would seem to indicate my perspective.
No I was thinking of AC being able to detect in advance and avoid. Or ATC have the ability to see anything lower than max drone height and advise AC that a go around is required.
