FAA COO Bristol To Retire
Bristol has nearly 30 years of federal service and is retiring after serving as the FAA's COO for nearly eight years.

Teri Bristol, who has held federal government roles for nearly 30 years and is currently the chief operating officer for the FAA, is retiring at the end of February. FAA Administrator Steve Dickson announced the retirement, saying, “Teri has led 30,000-plus employees who keep our skies safe, broken glass ceilings throughout her career, and has inspired us all.”

Bristol joined the Department of Transportation's Acquisition Management Training Program in 1992 and worked for the FAA, U.S. Coast Guard, and Federal Highway Administration. Her career led her to become deputy COO in 2012 and then in her current capacity in 2014. As COO, she is responsible for an organization of 32,000 employees that manages air traffic services for the approximately 50,000 aircraft operating over nearly 30 million square miles.
