Airbus Slows A330 Deliveries After Stray Object Found on Tail Plane
Airbus says it found an isolated quality issue on an A330 horizontal tail plane, prompting inspections during production and slowing monthly deliveries over the summer. Airbus delivered no A330 aircraft in June or July, but says the root cause has been identified and deliveries have resumed. The tail plane is made in Airbus Spanish facilities, and the object’s exact origin is not stated.
