Trump Appoints 22-Year FAA Veteran Christopher Rocheleau as Acting Administrator After DCA Crash
Jan 30, 2025, 04:34 PM
President Donald Trump has appointed Christopher Rocheleau as the acting administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) following the DCA plane crash. This appointment comes in the wake of a deadly midair collision between an American Airlines flight and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National Airport. Rocheleau, a 22-year veteran of the agency, previously served as the FAA's safety chief. The move follows the departure of Michael Whitaker, who stepped down as FAA administrator on January 20, the day of Trump's inauguration.
