British company that manufactures components for the most widely used jet airliner engine has been found to be distributing fake parts. London-based AOG Technics forged "numerous" Authorised Release Certificates for components of the CFM56 high bypass turbofan, according to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. The CFM56 powers many Airbus and Boeing aircraft including variants of the narrowbody 737, A340, and A320.

ARCs are airworthiness certificates for aircraft parts that ensure they are produced to specific standards. AOG Technics falsified these documents. Speaking to Bloomberg,the EASA confirmed that the true origin of the parts is still a mystery. In a nutshell, the components may fit, but they were not certified to have been made to exacting aerospace standards. The type of parts with forged documents is currently unclear, but either way, these pose a huge safety risk.
