Personnel from Elon Musk's government downsizing team DOGE will make additional visits to Federal Aviation Administration facilities as they assist in efforts to modernize U.S. national airspace, the acting head of the agency said on Wednesday.
Acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau said the DOGE team -- which visited the Air Traffic Control command center and Potomac TRACON in Warrenton, Virginia, on Monday -- will be at other FAA facilities, including FAA headquarters.
"We are asking for their help to engineer solutions while we keep the airspace open and safe," Rocheleau said in an email to employees that was seen by Reuters. "They will contribute to our goal of continuous improvement, which is the key to making sure flying continues to be the safest mode of transportation. We will learn from them, and they will learn more about aviation safety from us."
