  • President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to head the Transportation Department will tell a Senate committee on Wednesday he aims to ensure worldwide trust in U.S. planemaker Boeing after a 2024 mid-air emergency.

The article discusses the nomination of Michael Whitaker by President Joe Biden to serve as the next head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Whitaker, who previously served as a deputy FAA administrator, expressed his commitment to restoring global confidence in Boeing, particularly in light of recent safety concerns and manufacturing issues with the company's aircraft. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that Boeing adheres to the highest safety standards and that the FAA maintains rigorous oversight. Whitaker's background includes significant experience in aviation, having worked at a startup airline and as a pilot, which he believes equips him to address the challenges facing the aviation industry, including technological advancements and safety regulations. His nomination comes at a critical time as the industry seeks to recover from the impacts of the global health crisis and regain public trust in air travel safety.
