Background
The Northwest Mountain Region is home to the Western Service Center in Des Moines, Washington. Major aviation activity results from the Core 30 airports located in the Region, including Denver International, Seattle/Tacoma International, and Salt Lake City International. FAA's Northwest Mountain Region Airports Division oversees certification and safety of airports in the Region.
One of FAA's three Regional Operations Centers is located in the region to manage response activities and information sharing during aircraft accidents and other emergencies impacting aviation operations. The office also coordinates with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and other Federal agencies to ensure that preparedness, response, and recovery activities are effectively managed for crisis and emergency operations related to natural disasters and major special events.
STEM Aviation and Space Education
Within the region, FAA's Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Aviation and Space Education (AVSED) Program is an integral part of agency outreach and the national education system. The program was established to expose students to aviation and aerospace careers and to promote STEM education.
FAA Regional Administrators
FAA's nine Regional Administrator offices are strategically located across the country, each serving the public by supporting and coordinating operation of a national airspace system that ensures airports are safe, efficient, environmentally responsible, and meet the needs of travelers.
