The House of Representatives on July 22 unanimously approved a bipartisan aviation bill that tightens the FAA’s airline maintenance oversight procedures and creates an Aviation Safety Whistleblower Investigation Office.

The legislation was introduced in the House in response to concerns about the FAA’s oversight of airline maintenance programs. Agency employees and others raised concerns about this issue at an April 3 hearing before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
