The FAA is undergoing what it is calling a long-overdue reorganization—the largest in the agency’s history. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford jointly announced the reorganization yesterday, saying the new structure is designed to bolster safety, innovation, and transparency, while supporting modernization.

Key to the reorganization is a new safety oversight office that will implement a single safety management system and risk management strategy for the FAA. Rather than having individual offices monitor their own safety metrics, the new office will pull together and share safety data from across the agency.
