I'm a reporter with the Ottawa Citizen newspaper in Ottawa, Canada. I'm researching a story on how Canadian ATC cleared all the traffic from Europe on 9/11.

I'm trying to reach pilots of any airline flying transatlantic that day and were diverted when the FAA closed airspace.

I will obtain permission from your employer before the interview. I just need to know who I should be asking for when I call the PR people.

Thanks,
