WASHINGTON—Boeing must develop a comprehensive plan to address “systemic quality-control issues” within 90 days, the head of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said Wednesday, after a mid-air emergency last month sparked renewed safety concerns.

The head of the FAA demanded the plan in a statement critical of the planemaker following an all-day meeting with CEO Dave Calhoun on Tuesday.
