FAA head Mike Whitaker sets 90-day deadline for Boeing to address 737 Max safety issues and halt expansion.
FAA head Mike Whitaker says Boeing faces a long road to address safety issues, with a 90-day deadline to develop a comprehensive plan to address systemic quality-control problems and halt 737 Max production expansion. Boeing is under scrutiny after a door panel detached during a flight on a new Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9, leading to an emergency landing. Whitaker emphasized that the plan is not the end of the process, but the beginning of a lengthy journey for Boeing to ensure safety improvements.
