FAA says Elon Musk DOGE team will help engineer solutions on airspace reforms

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 Wednesday.

Acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau said the DOGE team -- which visited the Air Traffic Control command center 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 seen by Reuters.
