Billie Vincent, former head of the FAAâs office of civil aviation security, told the publication he expects aviation authorities to become more cautious in permitting flights over conflict zones following the Malaysia Airlines MH17 crash in Ukraine.
Vincent believes the aviation industry will reform its security approach âafter the Ukraine shoot-down,â according to the report.
