The Federal Aviation Administration announced Saturday that its top safety official has been named as the agency’s interim leader while the search continues for a permanent administrator.
Nolen has led the agency’s safety branch since January, overseeing a team of 7,600 employees. He previously worked for WestJet, a Canadian airline, as vice president for safety, security and quality. He has also worked at Australian carrier Qantas Airways, trade group Airlines for America and American Airlines, where he started as pilot in 1989.
Mims was named as the deputy FAA administrator early in the Biden administration. He previously served on the board of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and has a four-decade career in transportation.Dickson announced in February that he would step down to spend more time with family after leading the agency since mid-2019. It will be up to President Biden to nominate a replacement, who will require confirmation by the Senate.
“Obviously that’s a very important position and it’s going to call for top leadership,” Buttigieg said this week.
