Airbus has ordered immediate software repairs on 6,000 A320-series aircraft, triggering widespread flight disruptions across major global airlines. The mandatory fix, involving a rollback to earlier software, must be completed before the aircraft can operate again.<\/p>\n
American Airlines, the world\u2019s largest A320 operator, said 340 jets require updates but expects most to be completed by Saturday. Lufthansa warned of a small number of cancellations and delays, while Avianca \u2014 with over 70% of its fleet affected \u2014 closed ticket sales through December 8 due to \u201csignificant\u201d operational disruption.<\/p>\n
Wizz Air, Air France, Air New Zealand, Air India, Volaris and several other carriers also reported weekend delays or cancellations as they rush to comply. Some airlines, including British Airways, easyJet, Turkish Airlines and Aer Lingus, reported limited operational impact, while United Airlines and Brazil\u2019s Azul said they were not affected.<\/p>\n
The recall lands during one of the busiest U.S. travel weekends of the year, amplifying global disruption as airlines race to complete the required updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Airbus has ordered immediate software repairs on 6,000 A320-series aircraft, triggering widespread flight disruptions across major global airlines.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":319982,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,163811,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":{"0":"post-319981","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-breaking-news","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breaking-news-live-updates-dgca-tells-airlines-not-to-fly-a320s-until-updates-are-made-under-easa-directive-the-economic-times","10":"tag-breakingnews","11":"tag-headlines","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-top-stories","14":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
