Europe moves to phase out halon, forcing changes to aircraft fire‑suppression, MROs and operators The European decision to phase out halon will force changes to aircraft fire‑suppression systems, creating technical, certification and maintenance challenges for MROs and operators. The move raises questions about retrofit timelines, spare availability and the regulatory compliance path for keeping affected fleets airworthy.
