President Trump's Nominee To Lead The FAA Has Cleared The Senate Commerce Committee

Nicholas E. Calio, president and CEO of Airlines for America (A4A) has released a statement supporting the Senate Commerce Committee's approval of the nomination of Captain Steve Dickson to serve as the next Administrator of the FAA.

A4A strongly supports Mr. Dickson's nomination and has consistently called on Senate leaders to approve his confirmation to lead the FAA.

"We continue to believe that Steve Dickson (pictured) is uniquely qualified to provide the vision, leadership and experience needed to meet the challenges and significant opportunities ahead for the FAA," said Calio. "We urge all Senators to approve his nomination on the Senate floor."

Calio also called on House and Senate leaders to expeditiously consider bicameral passage of a waiver to ensure that Acting FAA Administrator Dan Elwell can continue serving as FAA Deputy Administrator. Mr. Elwell has done an outstanding job as Acting Administrator.
