Boeing has been under increasing pressure since a panel plugging a cabin door on a new Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9, forcing pilots to make an emergency landing and leaving a gaping hole in the side of the plane. That prompted the FAA toto develop a comprehensive plan to address “systemic quality-control issues” and barred it from expanding 737 Max production after the January incident. Boeing presented its plan to the FAA on Thursday.

The FAA said it wants more safety inspectors to be sent into Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems facilities, as well as having additional inspections at critical points of the production process.
