�
Dan Elwell was sworn in this week as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Deputy Administrator. Appointed by President Donald J. Trump, Elwell is the
second highest-ranking official at the agency responsible for ensuring aviation
safety and air traffic control services for the nation.
�
Elwell returns to the FAA during a historic period of safety and change as
air traffic control reform is being considered to speed airspace modernization
and new entrants like unmanned aerial vehicles and commercial spacecraft are
integrated into the airspace system.
�
�Dan�s insight and experience will serve the FAA and public well,� said FAA
Administrator Michael P. Huerta. �He has a strong background as a military and
civilian pilot, as well as holding key leadership positions within the
aerospace industry.�
�
Elwell previously served as FAA Assistant Administrator for Policy, Planning
and Environment from 2006 to 2008. Most recently, he has been serving as the
Senior Advisor on Aviation to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao.
�
Before returning to public service, Elwell was President and Managing
Partner of Elwell and Associates, an aviation consulting firm. Elwell also was
Senior Vice President for Safety, Security and Operations at Airlines for
America and Vice President at the Aerospace Industries Association. Elwell
graduated from the United States Air Force Academy.
