I was honored to join you today, @AIAspeaks. My message to you is to keep innovating. And my charge to the FAA team is to welcome innovation, not despite what it might mean to aviation safety and efficiency, but because of it.
Honored to have Acting Administrator @FAA_Billy at our Board of Governors meeting. The FAA plays a critical role in shaping aviation's future, making the US a global leader in innovation, safety, & competitiveness. We look forward to continued collaboration.
