WASHINGTON (AA) - US President Donald Trump said Monday that he is pleased to announce the nomination of Bryan Bedford to serve as administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

"As the former President and CEO of Republic Airways, Mesaba Airlines, and Business Express Airlines, Brian brings over three decades of experience in Aviation and Executive Leadership to this critical position," Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

Bryan will work with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to “strongly” reform the agency, safeguard US exports and ensure the safety of nearly one billion annual passenger movements, he added.

Recently, the Trump administration dismissed hundreds of FAA probationary employees responsible for maintaining critical air traffic control infrastructure.
