European aviation regulators discovered that a London-based company, AOG Technics Ltd., supplied fake parts for jet engines powering many older-generation Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 planes.
Manufacturing giants General Electric Co. and Safran SA have been involved in investigating the alleged counterfeit certification documents and unauthorized parts for CFM56 engines distributed by AOG Technics Ltd.
According to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, many Authorised Release Certificates from AOG Technics were forged. Manufacturers confirmed they did not produce these fake certificates or parts.
“Occurrence reports have been submitted to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) indicating that several CFM56 engine parts distributed by AOG Technics have been supplied with a falsified Authorized Release Certificate (ARC). In each confirmed example, the approved organisation, identified on the ARC, has attested that the form did not originate from within their organisation, and the certificate has been falsified” said EASA in the Suspected Unapproved parts (SUP) notification the regulator released.
