The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given Boeing 90 days to come up with a plan to fix quality problems and meet safety standards for building new planes, the agency said February 28.

The Guardian reports that the directive follows meetings with top Boeing officials, including the company’s CEO at FAA headquarters in Washington.

“Boeing must commit to real and profound improvements,” said the FAA administrator, Mike Whitaker in a statement. “Making foundational change will require a sustained effort from Boeing’s leadership, and we are going to hold them accountable every step of the way.”

During an all-day safety discussion at FAA Headquarters on February 27, Whitaker told Boeing that he expects the company to provide the FAA a comprehensive action plan within 90 days that will incorporate the forthcoming results of the FAA production-line audit and the latest findings from the expert review panel report, which was required by the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act of 2020.   

Boeing, based in Arlington, Virginia, did not immediately return a request for comment from The Guardian.
