华盛顿，9月17日（路透社）——白宫周四撤回了对前达美航空飞行员杰弗里·安德森出任美国驻国际民用航空组织大使的提名，此前这一提名遭到一家大型航空公司飞行员工会的反对。
特朗普总统政府于2025年7月提名安德森，但该提名从未举行过任命确认听证会。

去年，代表美国和加拿大42家航空公司逾7.9万名飞行员的工会——国际航空货运协会（此处应为美国航空公司飞行员协会，Air Line Pilots Association）——批评安德森的提名，称他没有资格出任大使。该组织周四拒绝置评。
该组织指出，安德森曾支持提高航空公司飞行员法定退休年龄的提议。去年，一些美国议员敦促特朗普政府在位于蒙特利尔的联合国民用航空机构中倡导将退休年龄从65岁提高到67岁。
2024年，国会否决了将退休年龄提高到67岁的提案。国际规则禁止65岁以上的航空公司飞行员在美国以外的大多数国家飞行。

美国驻国际民用航空组织职位自2022年7月起一直空缺，当时2009年因遭遇鸟群撞击后将空客A320安全迫降在纽约哈德逊河的航空公司机长C·B·“苏利”·萨伦伯格在短暂任职后辞职。
国际民用航空组织没有执法权，但通过共识为193个成员国制定涉及跑道、安全带等多种议题的标准。该机构成立于1944年，当时美国邀请50多个盟国达成协议，建立共同的空中导航系统。
本月，乌克兰敦促国际民用航空组织要求其成员国禁止在俄罗斯领空开展运营，乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基称俄罗斯领空“变得完全不安全”。
由于2022年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰引发的战争，欧美航空公司已不再飞越俄罗斯领空。中国、土耳其、阿联酋等海湾国家的航空公司仍在使用俄罗斯领空。

White House withdraws former Delta pilot for international aviation post

WASHINGTON, Sept 17 (Reuters) – The White House on Thursday withdrew its nomination of former Delta Air Lines pilot Jeffrey Anderson to serve as U.S. ambassador to the International Civil Aviation Organization after being opposed by a major airline pilots’ union.
The administration of President Donald Trump nominated Anderson in July 2025 but the pilot never had a hearing to confirm his appointment.

The White House did not disclose reasons for the withdrawal. Anderson did not comment. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside of regular business hours.

Last year, the Air Line Pilots Association, a union which represents more than 79,000 pilots at 42 U.S. and Canadian airlines, criticized Anderson’s nomination, calling him unqualified to be ambassador. The group declined to comment on Thursday.
The group noted Anderson had supported the idea of raising the mandatory airline pilot retirement age. Last year, some U.S. lawmakers had urged the Trump administration to advocate at the Montreal-based U.N. civil aviation body for increasing retirement to 67 from 65.
In 2024, Congress rejected a push to raise the age to 67. International rules prevent airline pilots older than 65 from flying in most countries outside the U.S.

The U.S. ICAO post has been vacant since July 2022, when C.B. “Sully” Sullenberger, the airline captain who safely landed an Airbus A320 on New York’s Hudson River in 2009 after hitting a flock of geese, stepped down after briefly serving in the post.
The ICAO has no policing powers but uses consensus to set standards on issues as varied as runways and seat belts among its 193 member countries. The agency was created after the United States invited more than 50 allies to agree in 1944 to a common air navigation system.
This month, Ukraine urged ICAO to ask its members to ban operations in Russian airspace after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said it was “becoming completely unsafe”.
European and U.S. carriers do not fly over Russia due to war that began when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Airlines from countries such as China, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf states continue to use Russian airspace.
