Underscoring its focus on enhancing the safety and efficiency of the air transportation system, The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) reports that it is forming a Security and Safety Services organization under its Commercial Airplanes business.
Industry safety veteran Charlie Higgins will lead the team to enhance the safety, security and efficiency of airplanes and the larger air transport system. Higgins, who has 30 years of experience working together with industry and government, most recently was vice president of safety and airworthiness for Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
