Does this imply, that if this is happening with major airlines, then the rest of airlines would be less befallen of fake engine parts?
I can imagine that major airlines might not be subject to the level of scrutiny when inspected, as do not-so-established airlines.
I would love to think, that the article describes the worst it can get, regarding fake engine parts in plane construction.
The part supplier is the issue, the airlines weren’t aware they were being sold counterfeit parts. Chances are that many airlines, including small ones, purchased parts from this supplier. I’d be more likely to trust an airline that found these counterfeit parts than one who didn’t, it means they have a good maintenance / inspection system.
