In yet another blow to the FAA, Acting Administrator Billy Nolen announced he will depart the agency this summer once a new nominee is named.
In a letter to staff on Friday, Nolen called his time leading the agency a “dream any aviator would envy.” He noted, “I have given everything to this agency, and now it’s time to do the same for my family, who have sacrificed so much and supported me during my time at the FAA.”
