U.S. airlines must determine whether Koito Industries Ltd. seats on 278 planes meet safety standards and remove those that don’t, aviation regulators said.
The order, which covers 40,365 seats on planes made by companies such as Airbus SAS and Boeing Co., would cost about $875,000, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The agency is scheduled to publish the directive tomorrow.
