DOT’S Peters in Iraq to Certify Air Traffic Controllers

May 29, 2008 | Posted in: News

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters did a little traveling this week (presumably on government aircraft so she didn’t have to worry about any of those new checked-bag fees).

She wound up in Baghdad to present certifications to 3 Iraqi nationals, who became the first tower-certified air traffic controllers “after completing months of rigorous instruction based on international aviation safety standards”.

Another 22 controllers are expected to receive certification soon.

And just so you know, Iraqi Airways and Royal Jordanian fly in and out of Baghdad with regular scheduled service, as do cargo carriers DHL and Federal Express (through its regional affiliate Falcon Aviation).
