Maj. Adam Fiedler, an airspace planner with the U.S. Forces-Iraq Air Component Coordination Element-Iraq, discusses the U.S. Air Force's role in transfering Iraq's airspace to the Iraq Civil Aviation Authority.
Iraq now has full control of its national airspace system as well as airspace sovereignty. This milestone represents several years of hard work by U.S. military, U.S. State Department and ICAA personnel.
"We basically had to rebuild the ICAA from the ground up," Fiedler said. “The job would have been challenging enough in a normal airspace environment, but in one where there are still combat and tactical air operations going on, it’s made it even more challenging.”
