• 2026-0119-E : Wings – Wing Mid Spars – Inspection: https://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2026-0119-E

Applicability:

A380-841, A380-842 and A380-861 aeroplanes, manufacturer serial numbers (MSN) 30, 42, 55, 56,
105, 142, 184, 187, 190, 202, 203, 208, 209, 227, 228 and 234.

Reason:

EASA issued several ADs requiring inspection of wing spars, last one being EASA AD 2025-0280.
Following the review of the results of those inspections, it has been determined that the cracks
found on certain aeroplanes could reduce the structural integrity of the wing.
