The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an Airworthiness Directive for operators of the Airbus A380. Those which use the Engine Alliance GP7200 engines will be required to inspect parts of the engines for cracking and wear, potentially leading to a costly part replacement. This comes after an Air France A380 suffered an uncontained engine failure in 2017, parts from which were recovered earlier this year.
