FAA chief warns of new aviation safety risks following pandemic
Federal Aviation Administration chief Steve Dickson warned on Tuesday of new safety risks in the industry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the retirement of veteran pilots, new fleets with complex aircraft and less international flying.
"All these changes are creating a whole new set of stressors that can inject new safety risks into the system," Dickson said at a town hall about commercial aviation safety shown on social media, adding: "And we absolutely cannot afford to be complacent about that."
