UK Aviation Authority Warns Passengers Over Aircraft Fitted with Fake Parts
The UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has issued a warning to passengers about the potential risks of flying on aircraft with counterfeit parts. The alert stems from an investigation into London-based company AOG Technics, which allegedly supplied components with forged safety certificates. These unauthorized parts were intended for CFM56 engines, which power older models of the widely used Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft. Several airlines, including major US carriers, have already discovered and are removing the components from their fleets. The CAA advises concerned travelers to contact their airline for more information.
