The White House is bringing back former senior Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) official Michael Whitaker to take the lead at the agency.
Whitaker has been serving as COO of Supernal, a Hyundai Motor company that is designing an electric advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft. He served as deputy FAA administrator from 2013-16.
Whitaker also has a long background in airline operations, spending 15 years in leadership roles at United Airlines and three decades with Trans World Airlines.
Before his most recent position at Supernal, he was group CEO of InterGlobe Enterprises, which operates IndiGo.
He is being nominated to an FAA post that has remained open on a permanent basis since Steve Dickson left halfway through his five-year term in March 2022. (AINonline 09/07/23) White House Selects Michael Whitaker To Lead FAA as Administrator | Aviation International News (ainonline.com)
