The White House yesterday renewed its nomination of Phillip Washington to become the next FAA administrator after the Senate failed to act on it in the previous Congress. Washington, who is CEO of Denver International Airport, was announced as the selection for the role in July.

Billy Nolen, who joined the agency at the beginning of 2022 as associate administrator for aviation safety, has been acting FAA administrator since the departure of Steve Dickson at the end of March.
