Billy Nolen to Head Agency After Dickson's Departure, With Assistance from Bradley Mims
The FAA has announced an interim administrator following the departure of Steve Dickson in the coming days, naming Billy Nolen for the role. As Nolen steps up to the plate, deputy administrator Bradley Mims will lighten his load a bit and focus on the FAA's workforce and the nation's airports. Nolen is a long-time aviation safety professional, former airline captain, and has been operating as an associate administrator at the FAA since January.
