OREANDA-NEWS European aviation regulators found out that fake parts were supplied for the repair of CFM56 turbojet engines, which are in many old—generation Airbus SE A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft - they were distributed by a little-known London company AOG Technics. Bloomberg found out about the scam. The information was confirmed by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
The British manufacturer forged certificates for the production of spare parts. CFM, the company that developed the engines, discovered 72 falsified airworthiness certification documents covering 50 part numbers provided by AOG Technics for CFM56. At the moment, it is unknown how many planes were affected by fake parts, the agency said.
In early August, EASA recommended that operators quarantine parts with fake documentation. The supplier of AOG Technics has not yet provided information about the actual origin of the parts.
The CFM56 is the world's best-selling jet engine. It is installed on thousands of narrow—body aircraft - which make up the majority of the world's fleet.
Meanwhile, in Russia, the largest airlines have agreed with the Ministry of Transport to receive funds from the National Welfare Fund (NWF) for the re-registration of 40 aircraft from foreign ownership to Russian. Aeroflot was approved to buy out 18 boards of the Irish AerCap, Ural Airlines — 19 aircraft of different owners, iFly — three Airbus A330 from the American Air Lease Corporation.
