The Senate Commerce Committee has pushed off consideration of the nomination of Denver International Airport CEO Phil Washington to be the next FAA Administrator to a “future date pending information that members have been seeking,” according to chair Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Washington). 

The committee had been scheduled to consider the nomination today amid a partisan divide, with Democrats strongly backing Washington. Further, the committee has released numerous letters of support and other endorsements from unions, airport groups, airlines, and past administrators, among others.
