Overview
- Airbus said fewer than 100 of roughly 6,000 potentially affected A320‑family jets are still out of service, with most aircraft already modified.
- EASA’s emergency airworthiness directive, echoed by the FAA and other national authorities, required software updates or hardware mitigations before normal operations.
- UAE regulators reported full compliance for all A319, A320 and A321 aircraft registered in the country, following oversight of operators’ updates.
- India’s DGCA said 338 A320‑family aircraft across Indian carriers were covered by the directive, with software upgrades largely completed and only minor delays reported.
- Operational disruption has been limited as many fixes were cockpit software updates, though earlier cancellations included 95 ANA flights affecting about 13,500 passengers.
