Another airline is grounding Boeing's 737 NG planes after finding cracks in the wing supports. This time it's budget carrier Ryanair, which is parking three of its planes, writes The Guardian.

According to the British newspaper, Ryanair, which has the largest fleet of 737s in Europe, has not previously said how many planes have been affected by the cracking problems. But now the Irish low-cost carrier has reportedly grounded at least three planes, The Guardian reports.

All three planes are said to be more than three years old. Two of them are currently undergoing repairs, while the third is parked at Stansted Airport in London.

A spokesperson for the airline states that no further problems have been found among the more than 450 aircraft Ryanair owns of the current model.

Airlines around the world, including SAS, American Southwest and Australian Qantas, have discovered cracks in 737 NG planes in the past month.

At the end of September, the US aviation authority FAA called for all 737 NG aircraft to be inspected after finding severe cracks in the wing attachments on ”a small number of aircraft”.

Boeing's NG model should not be confused with the accident-prone 737 Max model, which is currently grounded from all international air traffic.
