Thousands Of ‘Bogus’ Jet-Engine Parts Sold To Global Airline Fleets: Report<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Lawyers representing jet engine maker CFM International and its co-owners General Electric and Safran said “documentary evidence” shows thousands of jet engine parts with falsified documents were sold to global aircraft fleets by London-based AOG Technics, according to\u00a0Bloomberg<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, in a London court, lawyers for CFM requested the judge force AOG to hand over documentation of “every product sale” since the company was set up in 2015.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since late August, AOG has been at the\u00a0center of a counterfeit components controversy<\/a>, supplying third-party repair shops with “unapproved parts” for CFM56 engines used on older Airbus SE A320s and Boeing Co. 737s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The apparent large-scale falsification of documentation uncovered by the claimants gives rise to the risk that evidence relevant to these proceedings will be destroyed by the defendants,” lawyers for CFM wrote in a court filing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CFM lawyers noted there is documentary evidence that thousands of these jet engine parts were flooded into global aircraft fleets over the years.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Matthew Reeve, a CFM lawyer, said 86 “falsified release certificates” have been found, and the number of engines suspected to have parts with falsified documents has jumped to 96.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Potentially, that means between 48 and 96 aircraft being taken out of service whilst airlines arrange for the parts to be removed,” Reeve added.<\/p>\n

According to aviation news website\u00a0Simple Flying<\/a>, “United Airlines,\u00a0Southwest Airlines<\/a>, and Virgin Airlines have all discovered faulty engine parts supplied by fraudulent manufacturer AOG Technics.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

CFM warned the court: “The apparent large-scale falsification of documentation uncovered by the claimants gives rise to the risk that evidence relevant to these proceedings will be destroyed by the defendants.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although the findings affect only a tiny portion of the 23,000 CFM56 engines in operation, the presence of unauthorized parts in such a tightly regulated aviation industry raises significant alarms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
