Airbus has announced that fewer than 100 A320 aircraft remain grounded due to a software control issue. This affects a small fraction of the approximately 6,000 aircraft potentially impacted by the flaw.
In a statement released Monday, the company clarified that the “vast majority” of affected aircraft have already undergone the necessary modifications since the problem was initially announced on Friday. Airbus is actively collaborating with airlines to address the remaining aircraft, ensuring their swift return to service.
The recall, initiated on Friday, aimed to rectify a software glitch affecting the A320 family of aircraft. This action led to temporary groundings and disruptions in air traffic schedules. Airbus is working diligently to minimize further inconvenience to passengers and airlines.
The company assured stakeholders that the software update is being implemented efficiently and effectively. Airbus is committed to maintaining the highest safety standards across its fleet and regrets any disruption caused by this issue. The swift response and ongoing collaboration with airlines demonstrate Airbus’ dedication to resolving the situation promptly.
The focus remains on safely returning the remaining aircraft to operation, minimizing any further impact on global air travel. Airbus continues to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as needed.
