Airline bankruptcy leaves Vt. soldiers stuck in Iraq

By Peter Hirschfeld Vermont Press Bureau

PLAINFIELD — Waneta Mayhew has waited 12 long months for her son to come home from Iraq. She found out Tuesday she’ll have to wait a little longer.

Mayhew’s son is one of at least two Vermont soldiers stranded in Baghdad due to a transportation snafu that has delayed the return of hundreds of American service members.

ATA Airlines, the private company contracted by the Department of Defense to ferry service members from Iraq to the United States, went bankrupt earlier this month, leaving soldiers in the lurch after their tours expired.
