WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) - Deputy U.S. Transportation Secretary Polly Trottenberg is expected to be named Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) next interim leader, two sources told Reuters on Sunday.
Acting FAA administrator Billy Nolen is expected to leave the agency on Friday, officials told Reuters last week.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating six runway incursion events since January including some that could have been catastrophic.
Reuters earlier reported that Nolen is expected to take a position with electric air taxi firm Archer Aviation (ACHR.N) after he leaves the FAA.
The FAA, White House and Transportation Department did not respond to requests for comment.
