Ryanair Holdings Plc said it found unauthorized parts in two aircraft engines, becoming the latest major airline caught up in the distribution of components backed by falsified certification documents.
The suspect parts were discovered during scheduled maintenance checks in Texas and Brazil over the past few months and have since been removed from the engines, Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary said in an interview in Dublin on Thursday.
