Fake Parts On Your Airplane? How One Sham Company Completely Undermined Commercial Airline Safety

This is patently insane and incredibly concerning—anyone who flies a lot or at all should be paying close attention to this one.

According to sources, more than 100 commercial jets are now traversing our skies with fake parts sold to commercial airline giants through completely fraudulent safety certificates.

The impacted air carriers include United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and American Airlines.

Moreover, the jets don’t simply feature 1 or two fake parts each, investigators are reportedly attempting to track down thousands of fake parts aboard the various jets.

Daily Mail featured the exclusive story with this headline: “America’s biggest airlines ground planes as they launch desperate search for THOUSANDS of jet engine parts sold with fake safety certificates.”

Daily Mail was the first outlet to feature the story:

AOG Technics supplied parts that have been used in at least 126 commercial aircraft engines in planes operated by companies including Delta and United.

But the parts were allegedly backed up by forged paperwork and dozens of aircraft have been grounded for urgent maintenance.

A lawsuit has now been filed in the UK against AOG Technics and it has emerged the company is also believed to have engaged in a number of suspicious practices – including building a fake online presence to promote itself.

News HRS asked the X social community: “This is a serious safety risk for passengers and crew. How can we trust these airlines to fly us safely?”

There at least 126 engines across a number of airlines were found to include parts from a jet supplier company under investigation,” one concerned American wrote.

Fortune reports that Delta Airlines has become the latest air carrier to discover that they were impacted by the fraud:

Delta would not say if the engines with the fraudulently documented parts had been on planes while they were in service.

The problematic pieces, which were certified by AOG, were detected during engine work by an unnamed third party, the spokesman said.

As many as 21 of Delta’s engines could have been affected.
