The FAA will conduct a new audit of the Boeing 737-9 MAX production line and its suppliers, the FAA said in a statement, after a panel broke off an aircraft while in mid-flight, prompting a dramatic emergency landing Friday.

FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker told CNBC the new MAX 9 had “significant problems” and “we believe there are other manufacturing problems.”
