The FAA manages the world’s most complex aviation system overseeing more than 45,000 flights a day and almost 3 million airline passengers. “After more than 550 days without a permanent leader at the FAA, confirming Mr. Whitaker to be administrator is a welcome and significant step towards resolving persistent challenges at the FAA,” said Sen. Moran. “I congratulate Mr. Whitaker on his confirmation, and I look forward to working with Mr. Whitaker to ensure the FAA has the resources needed to promote safety and innovation within the nation’s airspace system.” During a Commerce Committee hearing on Mr. Whitaker’s nomination, Sen. Moran announced his support for Mr. Whitaker’s nomination as FAA Administrator. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:43:12Z |
