Working with the overhaul provider, we are in the process of replacing those parts and remain in compliance\u200d with all FAA guidelines \u2013 because safety is always our priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Dean Ramnath Chellappa, an Emory University Associate,\u200c expressed his concerns about the\u2062 airline\u200b issue.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cFor\u2063 sure, the \u200dairlines \u200dneed to be worried about this \u200dbecause, essentially, this is somebody falsifying their manifest of parts,\u201d Chellappa said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s a\u2064 problem\u200b that is \u200cessentially reflective of how the supply chain is not \u200bmaintaining \u2064the integrity.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Chellappa \u200calso emphasized the importance of proper\u200c documentation\u2064 in ensuring the functionality of the parts.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWhen\u2063 a supplying firm, in the supplying chain, certifies\u2062 that \u2063these meet all the standards, etc. Those have to be \u2062guaranteed, and you should be able to take that at face value,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the case of Delta, the affected engines \u2062make up less than 1%\u200d of the company&#8217;s mainline fleet, providing some \u200brelief \u2062for frequent fliers. <\/p>\n<p>United \u2063Airlines also addressed the issue, stating that only a few\u2064 of their planes\u2063 were impacted by the unapproved parts.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cAs we investigated \u2063this matter,\u200d we learned that \u2063compressor stator vane seals from this supplier had\u2064 been installed on a single engine on each of two aircraft, including one that was already undergoing \u2063routine maintenance. \u200cWe are\u2064 replacing the affected engines on both aircraft before they are returned to service, \u200dand we\u2019ll continue to investigate as new \u200binformation becomes\u200b available from our suppliers,\u201d\u2064 United said in \u200ba statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Southwest Airlines provided a statement \u200don Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWe became aware\u2064 of the issue in early August and took necessary steps to ensure we do not have any \u2063parts\u2062 in \u200bour fleet from AOG. Our suppliers conducted a review of Southwest\u200b parts\u2064 and identified one\u2062 engine that contained two low-pressure turbine \u200bblades from \u2063this \u200bvendor. In an abundance of caution, we made an immediate decision in August to promptly replace those parts on that single engine.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The airline \u200bparts were supposed to undergo rigorous safety tests to ensure their airworthiness.
