As the deadline looms for the FAA’s current authorization to expire at the end of the month, 28 organizations are urging Senate leaders to act on a long-term reauthorization bill. Those organizations, representing a cross-section of aviation stakeholders, also urged the chamber to work quickly on confirming the White House’s choice for FAA Administrator, Michael Whitaker.

Whitaker is a known quantity within aviation circles, having previously served as deputy administrator under the Obama Administration.
