The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) selected new members to serve on the Aviation Security Advisory Committee (ASAC), which comprises 33 members who provide recommendations for improving aviation security. The ASAC was initially established in 1989 following the bombing of Pan American World Airways Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

“Engaging with this committee of thought leaders, who represent diverse backgrounds and perspectives in aviation security, is critically important to me,” said TSA Acting Administrator David Pekoske. “I look forward to continuing the important work of the ASAC and welcome contributions from the newest members as we work together to solve the shared challenges we face in the aviation domain.”

ASAC is a statutory committee under P.L. 113-238 that augments TSA’s security posture through consultation with key partners on aviation security matters, including the development, refinement, and implementation of policies, programs, rulemaking and security directives pertaining to aviation security. There is a statutory limit of 34 committee members from 19 membership categories.
