FAA's New Top Lawyer

Ms. Louise Maillett Named FAA Senior Counsel

FAA Administrator Marion C. Blakey has named Louise E. Maillett as Senior Counsel to the Administrator.

In this position, Maillett (sorry about the tiny photo) will provide advice and assistance to senior agency officials on policy and other emerging issues affecting aviation transportation and programs.

"In my short time at the agency, I have learned to value Louise’s solid advice and recommendations on many important aviation issues," said Blakey. "Her distinguished service in government and wealth of knowledge on a wide variety of aviation issues will be a valuable resource to the agency."

Since August 2003, Maillett served as FAA’s acting Assistant Administrator for the Office of Policy, Planning and International Aviation. Her responsibilities included developing national and international aviation system policies, goals and priorities.

Helped ground Stage II jets...

She represented the United States on several International Civil Aviation Organization issues, and helped formulate the phase-out of less quiet "Stage 2" aircraft within the United States. Maillett was also instrumental in developing the slot lottery at LaGuardia Airport in New York that helped minimize system delays during the summer of 2000. She also served as the FAA’s acting Associate Administrator for the Office of Airports. 

Maillett started her career at the FAA as a member of the International Affairs and Legal Policy Staff for the Office of the Chief Counsel and was the Director and Deputy Director of the Office of Environment and Energy.

A career government employee...

Before joining the FAA, Maillett was an attorney for the Peace Corps and also served briefly as a foreign-service officer with the Department of State.

Maillett received her bachelor-of-arts degrees from Assumption College in political science and English and law degree from the University of Maine School of Law. She is a member of the Maine and District of Columbia Bar Associations.
