FAA Administrator Whitaker Resigns Amid Boeing Safety Issues, Senate Confirmation
Dec 12, 2024, 08:33 PM
Michael Whitaker, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has announced his resignation effective January 20, 2025, coinciding with President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. Whitaker, who assumed the role in October 2023, has overseen a period marked by increased scrutiny on aviation safety, particularly concerning Boeing, following a mid-air emergency involving a Boeing 737 Max 9 jet. His tenure has been characterized by efforts to address close calls between planes, air traffic controller shortages, and the need for tougher oversight of Boeing. Whitaker's decision to step down clears the path for Trump to appoint a new FAA administrator, a move that could potentially influence the agency's direction and policies. His resignation has been praised by senators from both parties for his experience, judgment, and commitment to aviation safety. Additionally, Whitaker has faced criticism from SpaceX CEO Elon Musk for the FAA's regulatory actions against the company.
