ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, October 18, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee advanced Michael Whitaker's nomination for Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with unanimous, bipartisan support. On behalf of the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), President and CEO Brian Wynne issued the following statement:

“The advanced aviation industry is ready to support the transition to a national airspace system that supports U.S. global aviation leadership, is more technologically advanced, has higher safety standards, and welcomes new entrants. To meet the challenges and opportunities of this new aviation era, the FAA needs a Senate-confirmed Administrator.

As he demonstrated at his nomination hearing, Mike Whitaker’s aviation experience and vision for the FAA make him a strong choice for the leadership role. AUVSI urges Senate leadership to bring Mr. Whitaker’s nomination for a floor vote without delay, and we urge Senators on both sides of the aisle to vote in favor of his nomination.”
