Air India, IndiGo Warn Of Flight Delays As Airbus A320 Malfunction Threatens Global Disruption

Airbus SE has warned that over half its active A320 jetliner family fleet would need to implement a software fix. Notably, Indian operators have around 560 A320 family aircraft and over 200 of them would require software changes or hardware adjustments, sources told PTI.

As many planes belonging to the A320 family aircraft in India and across the world undergo software changes or hardware adjustments, in some cases, operational disruptions are expected since they have to be grounded, the report said. Notably, the A320 family includes A319s, A320 ceos and neos, and A321 ceos and neos.

In separate statements, many domestic carriers have also addressed the issue and notified passengers about the disruptions. On Saturday, IndiGo, the country’s largest airline, announced that it was aware of a notice by Airbus regarding the A320 family aircraft.
