Airbus confirms ‘quality issue’ on A320 panels
European plane-maker Airbus said Monday it had detected a “quality issue” affecting metal panels on its popular A320 passenger jet but the problem was “contained”.
“Airbus confirms it has identified a supplier quality issue affecting a limited number of A320 metal panels,” a spokeswoman for the company told AFP, confirming earlier media reports.
“Airbus is taking a conservative approach and is inspecting all aircraft potentially impacted — knowing that only a portion of them will need further action to be taken,” she added.
