TSA Announces New Members of Aviation Security Advisory Committee

Airplane
September 30, 2019

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator David P. Pekoske announced the current Aviation Security Advisory Committee (ASAC), including the appointment of two new members and the reappointment of 12 members. ASAC provides recommendations for improving aviation security methods, equipment and procedures.

“The Aviation Security Advisory Committee has provided new ideas for protecting the security of our nation’s transportation system,” said Administrator Pekoske. “I thank all members of the Committee for their willingness to serve.  ASAC is a strong contributor to aviation security. They represent our nation’s vibrant aviation community, and I rely on their advice and counsel.”

The ASAC, a statutorily authorized committee, enhances TSA’s security posture by providing a formalized mechanism for consultation with key industry partners on aviation security matters, including on the development, refinement, and implementation of policies, programs, rulemaking, and security directives pertaining to aviation security.

The standard appointment term is two years.  However, members serve on staggered terms, which means that approximately one-half of the Committee members' terms expire in alternating years.  This ensures continuity and consistency for the ASAC.  New appointments are marked with a double asterisk (**) and reappointments an asterisk (*). The remaining members are continuing to fulfill their staggered, 2-year term with the ASAC.
