CFM Aircraft Engine Manufacturer Discovers False Certificate Scandal: AOC Technics Investigation

2023-09-04 23:20:48

Aircraft engine manufacturer CFM alerted its customers to parts with “false” certificates provided by one of its suppliers, a CFM spokesperson said in a statement on Monday.

“We have notified our customers and maintenance workshops and we continue working to examine the authenticity of the documents of parts obtained directly or indirectly by AOC Technics,” said the spokesman for CFM, a group resulting from the collaboration between the American General Electric and the French Safran.

After being informed by CFM, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) opened an investigation into the British company AOG Technics, suspected of having distributed “unauthorized parts” by maintenance workshops.

The affected engines belong to the CFM56 model and are used by Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 NG aircraft, although it is unknown how many might be affected.

“Several CFM56 engine parts distributed by AOC Technics were provided with false certificates,” the EASA said in a statement broadcast in August.
