EASA Warns Of Stolen Aircraft Parts Threatening Global Flights

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has released a report highlighting the fact that, after a shipment was rerouted earlier this year, more than 600 aircraft parts have been stolen. As the parts in question were being shipped for ‘mutilation,’ namely the process in which old parts are altered to prevent reuse, the fact that, following the theft, they may be illegally resold and re-enter circulation could have safety ramifications.
