Paris, July 31 (DPA) Two months after the crash of an Air France Airbus A330 into the Atlantic, the France-based aircraft manufacturer is urging companies flying its planes to replace their air speed measurement devices, an Airbus spokesman said Friday.

Stephen Schaffrath said all airlines using Pitot tubes manufactured by Thales are concerned by the recommendation, which was drawn up in collaboration with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

EASA spokesman Daniel Hoeltgen said Friday in Cologne that the agency will stipulate that all companies flying Airbus planes equipped with three Thales probes are to replace two of them on each plane with probes produced by the American manufacturer Goodrich.

Further details are to be made public within 14 days, Hoeltgen said.
