US Senate confirms Homendy as next NTSB Chair
Aviation lobby groups have welcomed the US Senate’s confirmation of Jennifer Homendy as the next and 15th chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The Senate approved the nomination on 9 August. Homendy succeeds Robert Sumwalt, who retired in June after a board tenure of 15 years, and four years as its chair. She joined the board in August 2018, and was reconfirmed to a five-year term a year later. “Ms. Homendy is a tireless advocate for safety, whose expertise and experience make her an excellent choice to lead this crucial transportation safety agency,” pilot union Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) says. “We look forward to continuing our aviation safety partnership with the NTSB and to working with chair Homendy in her new role to further our mutual goal of achieving the highest standards of aviation safety.” <br/>
