Sean Duffy Testifies Before Senate Committee on Transportation Secretary Nomination

On January 15, 2025, Sean Duffy, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Transportation, appeared before the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee to discuss his potential leadership of the Department of Transportation (DOT).

Duffy, a former U.S. Representative from Wisconsin, emphasized his commitment to enhancing aviation safety and restoring global confidence in Boeing. This follows a 2024 incident involving a Boeing 737 MAX 9, where a door panel detached mid-flight due to missing bolts. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has since maintained stringent oversight of Boeing, limiting production expansion until safety concerns are addressed.

“I will work with Congress and the FAA to restore global confidence in Boeing and to ensure our skies are safe,” Duffy stated in his written testimony. He also highlighted the need to address staffing shortages among air traffic controllers, noting that the FAA is currently about 3,000 controllers short of its staffing targets, with approximately 10,600 certified controllers. This shortage has led to extended cuts in minimum flight requirements at congested New York City-area airports through October 2025.

Duffy underscored the President-elect’s commitment to investing in national infrastructure, aiming to reduce bureaucratic delays and address the rise in traffic fatalities, which have increased since the COVID-19 pandemic to their highest levels since 2005. “In aviation, safety will remain the top priority. America needs more air traffic controllers,” Duffy’s testimony read. He also mentioned plans to “reduce the red tape that slows critical infrastructure projects” and tackle the issue of rising traffic deaths.

The hearing also touched upon upcoming leadership changes within the FAA. Current Administrator Mike Whitaker plans to step down on January 20, and Deputy Administrator Katie Thomson recently departed. President-elect Trump has nominated Steve Bradbury, a former general counsel at the Department of Transportation, as Deputy Secretary of Transportation. However, a new nominee for FAA Administrator has not yet been announced.

Duffy’s nomination is subject to Senate confirmation. If confirmed, he will be responsible for overseeing the nation’s transportation policies and infrastructure projects, with a focus on enhancing safety measures and addressing current challenges within the aviation sector.
