Delta Becomes Fourth Major U.S. Airline To Discover ‘Fake’ Jet Aircraft Engine Parts
OANN ^ | 10/23 | Elizabeth Volberding

Posted on 10/05/2023 2:09:37 PM PDT by spirited irish

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.

Jose Zamora Yrala should be strapped to the fusilage of a good sized drone (made with real parts) and flown into the face of a cliff somewhere in remote Utah or Arizona.

China would have already executed him by now.

So the airline CEOs are telling us they bought parts for jets, from a mostly-fictitious company based in London, which got put on an "approved vendor" list

without so much as a VISIT from the airline maintenance department to physically check them out?

I don’t think the bolts sheered. They actually sheared. Look it up in yer Funk & Wagnall’s. You’ll only get a B+ for today’s lesson, instead of the A you would’ve gotten.

Fake Parts in U.S. Aircraft? Inside the Air Force reported in late March on a problem vexing the U.S. military — fake parts showing up in depots and finding their way into Air Force and Navy aircraft. An unknown number of counterfeit aircraft parts are being fastened into U.S. military weapon systems after infiltrating supply depots, posing new safety risks […]

We’ve never heard of a Secretary of Transportation until Buttigieg!

For me, not since Federico Pena and the ValueJet crash.

I did a simple Google and Bing search on "Buttigieg" in the news section for the past 24 hours, and Buttigieg has not made a single statement about this problem.

He should have been in front of the cameras by noon this morning.

I was going to say, every part in a plane is identified and numbered. And every numbered part has a supplier. And every supplier has a source, and originator for the physical part. Failing bolts or any other part can be traced back to its origins, even if the last stop is a corrupt supplier in Shanghai with a backyard steel mill making pot-metal parts.
