The FAA is investing $26 million to develop aviation professionals, covering pilots, mechanics, technicians, and drone operators. The funding was announced by US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy.

Investments will go toward aviation training programs, apprenticeships and internships, student outreach and recruitment, and simulator-based pilot training.

"More Americans are taking to the skies and demand for skilled aviation workers continues to grow," said FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford. "These new funding opportunities support education and training programs that help build a strong pipeline of talent and invest in the future of America's aviation workforce."
