DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable - Air Forces Southern Command's Ongoing Support to the Haitian Govt.

DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable with U.S. Air Force Col. John Romero, chief of Air Mobility Division for the 612th Air Operations Center at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, A.Z. Col. Romero will provide an update of Air Forces Southern Command’s ongoing support to the Haitian government and relief efforts—specifically--how airmen have been able to manage the flow of aircraft into Haiti, prioritize landing times based off current needs on the ground, and ensure the safe and efficient flow of relief supplies into Haiti. Since implementation of the Haiti Flight Operations Coordination Center, safe arrival capacity has increased to over 155 missions per day and no aircraft has been denied a landing time. Haiti landing or "slot" times are allocated based upon the Government of Haiti and US Agency for International Development established cargo priorities. Two-thirds of all landing times are issued to non-Department of Defense aircraft.
