Summary

FAA chief Michael Whitaker will step down on Jan. 20, leaving the agency overseeing Boeing and the U.S. airline industry without a leader. The agency has seen several changes in leadership in recent years, facing challenges such as the grounding of Boeing 737 Max planes, the Covid-19 pandemic, and staffing shortages in air traffic control. Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin have also been urging improvements in FAA's regulation of rocket launches.
