The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s chief of safety is expected to be named the agency’s acting leader next week.
Billy Nolen, who joined the FAA earlier this year after a career as an airline pilot and executive, will be the temporary replacement for Steve Dickson, who is stepping down on Thursday, said a person familiar with the plan. The person asked not to be named discussing an action that hasn’t been publicly announced yet.
The White House hasn’t nominated a permanent replacement for Dickson.
