They say that a woman’s hair is her crown. Well, Flora Wakolo Kitao’s crown is a bold white mane that belies the subtlety in which she walks into a room and speaks. She is the chief air traffic controller in charge of operations in the Kenyan airspace. She oversees operations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisumu, Wilson, Malindi, Wajir and Lokichoggio airports. She knows the vessels that go up and down at any time. Well, generally speaking. Qualified in 1985, her duties include managing a safe and efficient civil aviation system in Kenya.
