Airbus said Tuesday that up to 628 of its popular A320 planes around the world may need to be inspected for a metal plate "quality issue" that has come to light. The European aircraft manufacturer said, in a message to AFP, that the figure represented the "total number of potentially impacted aircraft" but "it doesn't mean all these aircraft are necessarily impacted". cda/jum/rmb/jhb ...
