Airlines must fix a specific engine part on some GE jet engines

The US aviation regulator is ordering airlines to inspect and repair certain General Electric jet engines. This is because a specific internal part, called a support air duct, has been failing during engine disassembly.

This is a routine safety directive. It means airlines will have to ground planes with these engines for inspection and repair, which costs money and time. The goal is to prevent engine failures during flight, which could be catastrophic.
