Delta, American, United and Southwest Airlines have discovered that unapproved jet engine parts with fake safety certificates have been installed inside their planes.
The airline companies and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency have claimed that AOG Technics, a leading global aircraft support provider to the air transport industry, sold them the fake parts. The airlines stated that AOG Technics falsified the required airworthiness documents for the spare parts and mass-produced artificial safety certificates in order to sell its engine parts to them.
Parts sold by the problematic company have been found in 126 engines across the airlines and several questions have been raised over the effectiveness of the aviation industry’s safety oversight measures.

Wonderful.
The entire management and Board all need to serve serious jail time.
DIEversity kills!
I remember that some company, maybe in the Philippines was counterfeiting bolts many years ago. Bolts that were sold as Grade 12s were actually more like cheap Home Depot grade but with the markings for higher grades and properly plated. I think some planes crashed because these bolt sheered in critical places. This is bad business and the perps need life sentences.
Same shxt was going on with the Navys P-8 Poseidon... counterfeit parts from China.
Nothing new but should have been fixed years ago.
Need to find a way to inspect every airplane. Not all at once. But throughout the year (2024).
In fact I’d say we need firing squads.
Jet Blue here I come .
Confidence inspiring. It’s simply amazing how every institution and large business in America has gained in competence and credibility in the past few years. /s
That’s the kind of stupid stuff that happens when the government unconstitutionally and, thus, illegally takes over private enterprise!!!
I trust Pippy more than Airlines.
Guessing the parts come from China or India.
Jet Blue here I come.

I had to do a 1,200 mile trip not that long ago... I drove it.

Surely, you can’t be serious?
HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?
If you put enough fake jet engine parts together, does it equal a fake jet plane? Will it mean fake flights? And, will fake passengers be next?
