The Federal Aviation Administration is issuing a new airworthiness directive for certain Airbus A330-200 and A330-300 airplanes. These specific planes have been modified with a supplemental type certificate, which is essentially an approved change to the original aircraft design.
Why it matters: This is a technical safety correction meant to ensure that if a plane has to divert to an alternate airport far away, there is enough oxygen for everyone on board.
Who it affects
- Airlines operating modified Airbus A330-200 or A330-300 aircraft
