From prototype to reality, air taxis are taking flight. ✈️ @FAA_Chris went behind the scenes with @flyarcher, a participant in the FAA’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (EIPP). Through EIPP, the FAA evaluates emerging technologies in real-world environments to help safely integrate these aircraft into the national airspace while supporting innovation.

My prayers are with the people of Venezuela as they begin the tough road to rebuild from a devastating earthquake. Here’s what @USDOT is doing to support the recovery effort: The @FAANews is in close communication with their Venezuelan counterpart and other international aviation partners to provide assistance as needed. As international relief mobilizes, @DOTMARAD is prepared to ensure vital shipping supply chains are restored and essential humanitarian aid reaches affected communities.
