华盛顿，1月26日（路透社）- 特朗普政府周一表示，正在重组联邦航空管理局（FAA），并将成立一个新的安全监督办公室，以整合五个不同部门的职能。
这一举措是在周二美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）举行听证会之前一天采取的，该委员会将批评FAA未能对险些相撞事件采取行动，以确定2025年1月发生在里根华盛顿国家机场附近的陆军直升机与美国航空公司客机相撞事故的可能原因，此次事故造成67人死亡。

FAA表示，新的航空安全办公室是一项战略计划的一部分，旨在改善招聘和培训，并识别潜在危险。该机构称，此次全面改革不会导致裁员。
两党议员质疑，为何在致命碰撞事件发生前，FAA多年来一直未能采取行动解决里根机场附近直升机险些相撞的事件。
NTSB去年表示，自2021年以来，在里根机场附近发生了超过15,000起商用飞机与直升机的事件，横向间隔距离不到1海里（1.85公里），垂直间隔不到400英尺（122米），其中包括85起险些相撞事件。
NTSB主席詹妮弗·霍门迪（Jennifer Homendy）在8月表示，FAA忽视了关于严重安全问题的警告。
作为重组的一部分，FAA正在建立一个安全管理系统，并在全机构范围内实施安全风险管理流程。
今年7月上任的FAA局长布莱恩·贝德福德（Bryan Bedford）正在监督125亿美元的美国空中交通管制系统修复工作，而交通部长肖恩·达菲（Sean Duffy）希望再获得190亿美元以完成这项工作。
今年5月初，在5月1日发生一起险些相撞事件迫使两架民用飞机中止降落之后，FAA禁止陆军在五角大楼周围进行直升机飞行。
FAA还正在将总部搬迁至华盛顿特区的主要运输部办公大楼。

WASHINGTON, Jan 26 (Reuters) – The Trump administration said on Monday it is restructuring the Federal Aviation Administration and will create a new safety oversight office to consolidate functions across five different units.
The move comes a day before the National Transportation Safety Board on Tuesday is set to criticize the FAA’s failure to act on near-miss incidents at a hearing to determine the probable cause of the January 2025 collision between an Army helicopter and American Airlines passenger jet that killed 67 people near Reagan Washington National Airport.

The FAA said the new aviation safety office was part of a strategic plan to improve hiring and training and identify potential hazards. The overhaul will not result in reductions in force, it said.
Lawmakers from both parties have questioned why the FAA failed to act for years to address close calls involving helicopters near Reagan airport before the fatal collision.
The NTSB said last year that since 2021, there were more than 15,000 incidents near Reagan between commercial airplanes and helicopters with lateral separation distance of less than 1 nautical mile (1.85 km) and vertical separation of less than 400 feet (122 m), including 85 close-call incidents during that period.

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said in August the FAA had ignored warnings about serious safety issues.
As part of the restructuring, the FAA is creating a safety management system and implementing an FAA-wide safety risk management process.
FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford, who took office in July, is overseeing a $12.5 billion rehabilitation of U.S. air traffic control, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants another $19 billion to complete the job.
The FAA in early May barred the Army from helicopter flights around the Pentagon after a May 1 close call that forced two civilian planes to abort landings.
The FAA is also in the process of moving its headquarters, opens new tab into the main Transportation Department office in Washington.
