Iraq, May 25th, 2015

Serco, the international service company, has announced today a 1 year contract extension with the Iraq Civil Aviation Authority (ICAA). Since 2011 Serco has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver safe and efficient air traffic services to the Iraqi Government and remains committed to the training and development of Iraqi nationals.

The contract covers a full range of services including the continued development of Air Traffic Services and Academy Training at Baghdad International Airport. The partnership between Serco and the ICAA has achieved a number of successes. These include increasing airspace capacity, successful training and validation of nationals to become air traffic controllers, while continuously developing a solid foundation for advancing Air Traffic Services capabilities in Iraq.

David J Greer, CEO Serco Middle East said  "The success and continued faith of the ICAA in Serco is testament to the professional nature of our aviation business and our wider group focus on providing excellent service and value to government agencies. This latest contract extension reaffirms our position as the leading provider of outsourced air navigation services in the region"

The initial contract was awarded to Serco in 2011 and has now been extended until 2016. This reinforces the strength of Serco's services portfolio delivering a fully integrated asset optimisation approach and extending its presence in Iraq.
