FAA Targets Goodrich Seats on Airbus Jets for Urgent Track Replacements
Published Date: 7/11/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
If you fly on certain Airbus A330 or A340 planes, the FAA wants to make sure the cabin attendant seats are super safe. They’re asking airlines to swap out some seat parts and update the seat labels to fix a safety problem. This fix needs to happen soon and might cost some money, but it keeps everyone safer in the skies!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Passenger Safety Improved on A330/A340
Passengers who fly on the listed Airbus A330 and A340 models may have safer cabin attendant seats because the FAA is proposing that non-compliant track attachments be replaced and seats re-identified. The FAA states the action is to address an unsafe condition on these Goodrich cabin attendant seats.
Airlines Must Replace Seat Track Hardware
If your airline operates Airbus A330 or A340 airplanes listed (A330-200 series, A330-200 Freighter series, A330-300 series, A330-841, A330-941, A340-200 series, A340-300 series, A340-541, and A340-642), the FAA would require replacing all Goodrich cabin attendant seat track attachments and hardware and re-identifying the seats with a new part number. The proposed rule is intended to fix non-compliant track attachments reported on certain part-numbered seats.
