"Virgin Atlantic Flight to JFK Canceled Over Missing Wing Bolts"
A Virgin Atlantic flight from Manchester to New York was canceled after a passenger noticed four missing fasteners on the wing of the Airbus A330, prompting additional engineering maintenance checks. Despite reassurances from the crew, the passenger expressed concern following a recent Alaska Airlines incident. Virgin Atlantic stated that the safety of customers and crew was not compromised, and the aircraft is now back in service after the missing fasteners were replaced. Airbus UK's Chief Wing Engineer confirmed that the missing fasteners had no impact on the aircraft's safety, and the plane underwent an additional maintenance check as a precautionary measure.
