Boeing: DoJ begins investigation as FAA gives 90-day deadline for safety plan

US justice department scrutinizing whether door blowout violated 2021 agreement with Boeing after two fatal plane crashes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is giving Boeing 90 days to come up with a plan to fix quality problems and meet safety standards for building new planes, as the justice department reportedly reviews whether a mid-flight plane door panel blowout in January violated a previous settlement agreement between the company and the US government.

The FAA said on Wednesday that the directive follows meetings with top Boeing officials, including the company's chief executive at FAA headquarters in Washington.
