Former Airline Lobbyist to Take Over for Outgoing FAA Chief
Daniel Elwell will serve as acting administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) starting this weekend, taking over at a critical time for the aviation agency, the Transportation Department said Friday.
Elwell, a former Air Force lieutenant general and former commercial airline pilot for American Airlines, is currently the FAA’s deputy administrator.
He was previously a senior vice president for safety, security and operations with Airlines for America (A4A), the leading trade group representing most of the nation’s major airlines.
