CFM International Uncovers 126 Engines with Erroneously Documented Components from UK Distributor.

In a recent revelation, CFM International (CFM), a dynamic partnership between General Electric and Safran SA, has meticulously uncovered a startling truth. A staggering 126 engines, essential to aviation safety, have been tainted with falsely documented components. What’s truly astonishing is that 16 of these compromised engines were identified within CFM’s very own MRO facilities, bringing the issue uncomfortably close to home.

The origins of this alarming discovery can be traced back to AOG Technics Ltd., a UK-based entity now firmly under scrutiny. It is AOG Technics that finds itself at the epicenter of this extensive parts investigation. As if this revelation wasn’t unsettling enough, the number of engines found with counterfeit components has surged from an initial 96 to a staggering 126. Furthermore, CFM International has unearthed a concerning total of 95 falsified documents associated with these compromised parts.

The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has taken decisive action by issuing an Unapproved Parts Notification (UPN) specifically targeting a bushing part supplied by AOG Technics. This part was provided without the crucial FAA production approval, and the documents associated with it were unambiguously deemed as “falsified.” In response to this blatant breach of trust and safety, CFM International has embarked on an unyielding pursuit of justice, taking aggressive legal measures against AOG Technics for peddling unapproved aircraft engine parts, complete with deceitful airworthiness documentation.

This revelation serves as a stark reminder of the indispensable importance of air travel safety, and the unwavering commitment of CFM International to uphold it, even in the face of audacious challenges.
