The Trump administration has abruptly removed Alvin Brown, the vice chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), a position to which he was appointed by President Joe Biden late last year. The White House confirmed the removal on May 6, 2025, describing it as a rare move. The NTSB is currently managing over 1,000 aviation disaster investigations amid escalating airport operational challenges. This action comes as former President Donald Trump criticized the Biden administration and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for what he described as a series of failures impacting air traffic safety in the United States.
