Aviation Safety Seat Filled After Controversial Removal
The U.S. Senate has voted to confirm John DeLeeuw to the National Transportation Safety Board, filling a vacancy created when President Trump fired the previous vice chair.
In a move to bolster air safety oversight, the U.S. Senate has voted to confirm John DeLeeuw to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). This appointment fills a vacancy that was created when President Trump controversially fired the previous vice chair of the NTSB.
The NTSB plays a critical role in investigating aviation accidents and making safety recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other agencies. DeLeeuw's confirmation ensures that the board will have its full complement of members as it continues its vital work.
