More Airbus planes and parts must now get mandatory safety fixes
What happened
The US aviation regulator is expanding a proposed safety rule for Airbus planes. This means airlines will have to inspect and fix more of their aircraft.
Why it matters
The US aviation regulator found a safety problem with certain Airbus planes. It turns out the problem affects more aircraft and more parts than first thought. This means airlines will spend more money on inspections and repairs to keep these planes flying.
The signal
Watch for the final rule to see if the FAA keeps the expanded list of affected planes and parts.
