(Abaco, Bahamas) On September 17, at the request of the Bahamian government, U.S. Northern Command transported a mobile Air Traffic Control (ATC) unit to Marsh Harbour via a U.S. Air Force C-17. This state-of-the art mobile ATC unit, provided by the Federal Aviation Administration, will help the Bahamas Civil Aviation Authority continue restoring air traffic to Marsh Harbour as the people of Abaco recover and rebuild. The C-17 is one of the largest planes at the U.S. military’s disposal, and the delivery is another example of the collaborative effort to address the acute humanitarian needs of those affected by Hurricane Dorian.
