Global Supply Chain Disruption Hits Critical Aviation Component
A chemical incident at GKN Aerospace’s facility in Garden Grove, California, has led to a significant disruption in the production of aircraft windows, a critical component for the aviation industry. The company, which is one of the few suppliers of aircraft windows, has seen its production capacity reduced to 50% after the incident. Boeing and Airbus, two of the largest aircraft manufacturers, are closely monitoring the situation and taking steps to mitigate any potential impacts. According to the BBC, production is expected to return to normal by September 28.
