Police make arrest for traffic in Airbus parts

Italian police have arrested six people for trafficking in defective Airbus spare parts, an operation of Italian company Panaviation. A number of aging Airbus A300s were found partly dismantled for the onward sale of thousands of parts to the US and Canada using false documentation. This came to light during an inquiry into the crash of Dornier 329 at Genoa in 1999 and a tip from an informer.
