Opponents of a waste-transfer facility near LaGuardia Airport have lost their bid to block the facility from being built.

Friends of LaGuardia Airport say the $200 million project could attract more birds around the airport looking for food.

Ken Paskar, a member of the nonprofit, told the New York Post that bird strikes happen rarely but “all it takes is one” to cause a major loss of life.

He said the group is considering other legal options to overturn the decision and stop the project.

The North Shore Marine Transfer Station is being constructed in College Point, about 2,200 feet across Flushing Bay from Runway 31.

Planes can be crippled by hitting birds.

The activists lost their court fight on Tuesday.
