Bryan Bedford, nominated by President Trump to lead the FAA, faces scrutiny over staffing shortages and safety issues. With decades of experience in regional airlines, Bedford aims to prioritize public safety and rebuild trust in air travel. He plans to address technology problems and staffing gaps that have been exacerbated by recent incidents, including a midair collision. The FAA, struggling with a high turnover and recent staffing reductions, relies on the new administrator to implement reforms despite ongoing challenges.
"If confirmed, my top priority will be public safety and in restoring the public's confidence in flying," says Bryan Bedford in his prepared remarks.
"I will work to build a new, best-in-class air traffic control system, and to rectify the chronic understaffing at our nation's air centers," Bedford adds.
