DynCorp to Extend Counter-Narcotics Aircraft Support for State Dept; Joe Dunaway Comments

DynCorp International has received a one-year extension on the company’s contract with the State Department to support the aviation office within the agency’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement.

DynCorp said Tuesday it will continue to provide pilots and aircraft maintenance, logistics, search-and-rescue, security and administrative services for INL Air Wing’s drug eradication efforts in Afghanistan, Colombia, Cypress, Iraq, Pakistan, Panama and Peru.

The contract extension runs through Oct. 31, 2017.

“It is an honor and privilege to continue to provide support to our INL Air Wing customer,” said Joe Dunaway, DynCorp’s program manager to the INL Air Wing.

INL works with foreign governments to locate and eliminate drug crops, halt drug production and trafficking and form their own counter-narcotics aviation programs.
