Revealed: London company accused of counterfeiting aircraft parts, European aviation regulator reveals truth

News on September 1st, the European aviation regulatory agency issued a statement today, revealing that a London-based company called AOG Technics Ltd. is suspected of being involved in the supply of counterfeit aircraft engine repair parts. The parts are mainly for older-generation Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft, while manufacturing partners General Electric and Safran are cooperating with investigations into suspected forged certification documents and unapproved CFM56 engine parts. The company was allegedly involved in distributing the parts.

According to the editor’s understanding, among the many parts and components provided by the company involved, it was found that its approval and release certificates were actually forged. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) said that in each case, the organizations identified as manufacturers denied having issued the certificates and were not the original manufacturers of the parts.

This incident has had a serious impact on the aviation industry. As the core component of the aircraft, engine maintenance parts must undergo strict quality control and certification procedures. If these procedures are tampered with or bypassed, it could seriously threaten the safety of the aircraft. It's unclear exactly how many counterfeit parts have been used, and it's difficult to determine how many aircraft may be affected. It is worth noting that CFM56 engines are widely used in thousands of narrow-body aircraft, which constitute the world's major aircraft types.

This incident not only affected the company involved, but also sounded the alarm to the entire aviation industry. All airlines and relevant agencies should strengthen the supervision of engine maintenance parts and ensure that the parts used meet strict safety standards to protect the lives and property of passengers. For the aviation industry, this incident will serve as a valuable lesson and trigger greater vigilance and attention in order to maintain the reputation and safety image of the entire industry.
