On Wednesday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) established a new independent aviation safety review team. This team will allow the FAA to examine further ways to enhance safety and reliability in the air traffic system across the United States, and the news comes after several close incidents like FedEx and Southwest near miss in Austin last February and a safety summit where the FAA convened safety officials from across the aviation industry.
