The Federal Aviation Administration is giving Boeing 90 days to come up with a plan to fix quality problems and meet safety standards for building new planes. The agency said Wednesday that the directive follows meetings with top Boeing officials, including the company’s CEO at FAA headquarters in Washington. The company has been beset by quality problems in manufacturing of its popular 737 Max jetliner. The FAA said Wednesday that the new 90-day deadline comes after FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker met with Boeing CEO David Calhoun and other top company officials.
