That's a huge problem.
That's up to 68 affected jets. The engines are maybe $7m a pop. $467m of jet engines that need to be replaced. There are 1276 737-Max and 2939 A320neo jets produced.
Until they find the planes these were installed on, those planes are at risk of failure
It won’t be hard to find the planes these parts are associated with. Aerospace is hardcore about traceability. It’s not like people flying need to be worrying about the plane they are on.
Unless they’re being operated by Russian carriers 😬
