French Airline Suspends Operations Amid Pilot Health Concerns
A French airline has grounded its newly upgraded aircraft, built by an Airbus joint venture, after pilots reported suspected fumes leaking into the cockpit and cabin, causing health issues. The planes, including one used by Airbus to transport workers, have been taken out of service pending an investigation by the manufacturer, ATR. The incident comes amid long-standing disputes over the potential health risks of oil leaks in aircraft engines, which a Wall Street Journal investigation found have increased over the last decade. The grounding was reported by the Wall Street Journal.
