FAA chief to testify on Sept. 24 on Boeing quality turnaround plan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of the Federal Aviation Administration will testify on Sept. 24 before the House of Representatives Transportation Committee on Boeing (NYSE:BA )'s quality improvement plan, the committee said Monday.

FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker in late February gave Boeing 90 days to come up with a plan to address "systemic quality-control issues." Boeing delivered the plan in late May and the FAA is still assessing the planemaker's reform efforts. On Sept. 25, Whitaker will testify before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations at a hearing titled "FAA Oversight of Boeing's Broken Safety Culture."
