Airbus has identified an issue affecting “a limited number” of metal panels in its A320 passenger planes, a spokesperson for the company said Monday, just days after warning of another technical problem in its aircraft.
The plane manufacturer is inspecting all aircraft that are potentially impacted by what it calls a “supplier quality issue,” but expects that only some of them will require further action to be taken, the spokesperson told CNN.
“The source of the (metal panels) issue has been identified, contained, and all newly produced panels conform to all requirements,” the spokesperson said, noting that the number of planes in service affected by the problem is “very limited.”
