FAA Deputy Administrator Bradley Mims stressed the need for collaboration and diversity as the aviation industry seeks to replenish and expand its workforce. Speaking during a Bombardier celebration in Wichita last week, Mims pointed to the announced plans from the Montreal-based company to make the site its U.S. headquarters for defense, flight testing, and MRO, saying the aerospace community “is always looking to innovate, to evolve, and to reach greater heights, and that is what is happening here today.”
