Jet engine inspections get tighter after a turbine exploded mid-flight

The US aviation regulator wants to add new mandatory inspections for certain jet engine parts. This means airlines will have to check specific rotating components more often to prevent engine failures.

Airlines operating planes with these engines will now face higher maintenance costs and potentially more downtime for inspections. This change comes after a serious incident where an engine turbine broke apart, sending debris through the engine cowling. The goal is to catch potential failures before they happen, making air travel safer.
