What happens if a flaw is found?

When a quality flaw is found in aircraft production, like the one affecting the Airbus A330neo, manufacturers typically halt or slow deliveries to investigate and fix the issue. This ensures no unsafe aircraft reach customers. While it can cause delays and financial impact, prioritising safety is paramount in the aviation industry, as seen with Airbus's swift action.
