Wanna get away? Careful, fake engine parts in Boeing and Airbus jets...

Looks like it's a UK issue...
Global airlines are having a time of it right now, with shortages of everything from ground workers and planes getting in the way of seamless service. Now, carriers operating certain Airbus and Boeing planes are racing to fix a new problem: fake engine parts.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, airlines flying older-generation Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 planes might have been duped into fitting their engines with counterfeit parts. Now they’re all rushing to find the fake parts and replace them before anything bad happens.

Nothing new. Back in the late 80s there was a Chinese bolt manufacturer that was selling hardware grade bolts that had head markings for grade 8. Problem finally came to light when an engine fell off a plane. Dozens of airlines had to go back and replace every bolt they'd installed in the past few years.
