Acting head of FAA to depart amid agency struggles and leadership vacuum

The acting administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration will leave his position this summer.
The FAA has lacked a Senate-confirmed leader since March and faces staffing issues and recent technology failures.
The agency is under pressure to handle increasing air travel and improve coordination internally.
A replacement for the acting head needs to be found quickly to provide stability for the agency.
The FAA's struggles have led to more flight delays, cancellations and close calls between planes.
