In one of her first speeches as FAA Administrator, Marion Blakey promised that her five-year term will be driven by data and hard numbers, be consistent across all FAA regions and offices and emphasize the agency’s role in international aviation.

“My predecessor, Jane Garvey, succeeded in building a real spirit of cooperation between different members of the aviation community during her tenure,” she said. “I plan to build on that spirit, build on those partnerships and alliances and start the same kinds of dialogue that will be absolutely vital as we take the important steps toward implementing many of the performance-enhancing programs and technologies that will take this industry into the future.”
