Asia FX muted despite Fed cut bets; Japanese yen slides after PM Ishiba resigns
Investing.com -- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is planning to propose changes to accelerate the certification process for new commercial airplanes, according to an announcement made by the Trump administration on Thursday.
The FAA intends to put forward proposals by December that would "modernize certain certification standards for transport category airplanes and propulsion systems." The agency indicated that these changes would be deregulatory in nature, reducing the number of "exemptions, special conditions, and equivalent level of safety findings required during the certification process."
This initiative follows comments made by former FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker in December, who told Reuters that the agency was looking to streamline the aircraft certification process.
