Boeing hires former Northrop executive to lead Air Force One program, sources say
(Reuters) -Boeing has hired a former Northrop Grumman executive, Steve Sullivan, to lead its Air Force One program, according to two people briefed on the matter. Sullivan, who previously worked on key Northrop programs including the B-21 bomber, replaces Gregg Coffey, who is moving to another role at the U.S. planemaker. Boeing did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for a comment. The Air Force One program, which involves converting two 747-8 aircraft into VC-25B jets equipped with advanced communications and defense systems to serve as the next generation of U.S. presidential air transport, has faced chronic delays over the last decade. Delivery of the two new 747-8s is three years behind schedule and now expected in 2027. The news of the appointment comes after the U.S. military in May accepted a 747 jetliner as a gift from Qatar. The Air Force was tasked with evaluating options to quickly upgrade it for presidential use.

MADD Canada Releases The Top Ten Report: Municipal Measures to Minimize Impaired Driving and Support Victims and Survivors
OAKVILLE, Ontario, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Municipalities must play a greater role in preventing impaired driving and supporting victims and survivors. That's the central message of a new report released ahead of the Victoria Long weekend by MADD Canada, titled The Top Ten Report: Municipal Measures to Minimize Impaired Driving and Support Victims and Survivors. Although Canada has made significant progress, impaired driving remains a serious public safety issue. Approximately 78,480 impaired driving sanctions were issued under federal and provincial law across Canada in 2021 — the equivalent of 215 sanctions per day. 'While municipalities are established by provincial and territorial governments, they hold important powers — including control over police budgets, municipal venues, and other matters — that can be used to fight impaired driving at the community level,' said Steve Sullivan, CEO of MADD Canada. 'Municipalities have tools that can save lives. Our goal is to help them use those tools more effectively.' The report is the third and final branch of MADD Canada's The Top 10 Reports series. These reports aim to guide all levels of government toward evidence-based reforms that will reduce impaired driving and support victims and survivors. Some of the recommended municipal measures include: For a full list of recommendations, read the report. 'The report highlights priority issues to start productive conversations with local governments and give them a clear roadmap to follow,' said Eric Dumschat, Legal Director of MADD Canada. 'It will be updated periodically to reflect the progress that municipal governments have made.' The report's launch comes just ahead of the Victoria Day long weekend, which marks the unofficial start of summer, when many Canadians take road trips and spend time on trails and waterways. It's also a time when the risk of impaired driving increases. That's why MADD Canada, through its Campaign 911 awareness program, reminds the public that impaired driving is an emergency and urges people to call 911 if they see a driver they suspect is impaired. To help ensure everyone gets home safely, we all have a role to play: About MADD Canada MADD Canada (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) is a national, charitable organization that is committed to stopping impaired driving and supporting the victims of this violent crime. With volunteer-driven groups in close to 100 communities across Canada, MADD Canada aims to offer support services to victims, heighten awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and save lives and prevent injuries on our roads.
