LIVE: FAA Administrator holds a news conference after meeting with Boeing CEO

The head of the Federal Aviation Administration, Mike Whitaker, speaks to the press after meeting with Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun and other senior company officials on the company’s quality improvement plans.

In late February, Whitaker gave Boeing 90 days to develop a comprehensive plan to address “systemic quality-control issues” and barred it from expanding 737 MAX production after a door panel blowout during a Jan. 5 flight on a new Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9.
