Airbus must find and replace wrong fasteners on some planes

The US aviation regulator proposes a new rule for specific Airbus Canada airplanes. It requires airlines to find and replace titanium fasteners that were incorrectly installed instead of nickel alloy ones.

This is a routine safety correction. It means that a specific batch of aircraft will need inspections and potential repairs to ensure structural integrity. These types of directives are common in aviation, ensuring that manufacturing errors are caught and fixed before they lead to accidents.
