The landing team for the Transportation Department has seen some reshuffling in recent weeks, adding another batch of former transportation officials and experts, according to two transportation industry and transition officials with knowledge of the moves.
The landing team now includes:
Andrew Giacini, who is currently a special assistant to National Transportation Safety Board member Todd Inman, is no longer supporting the transition team, two people familiar with the situation said. While the reason for Giacini’s departure is unclear, he was one of five FAA or DOT officials who resigned from the first Trump administration after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Giacini declined to comment. Smith, Ray and Kochman did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Plans and Urban could not be reached for comment.
