Overview
- CEO Guillaume Faury said all A320 aircraft currently flying have been updated and fleets have resumed normal operations.
- On November 28, Airbus instructed more than 6,000 A320s to be kept on the ground to replace a vulnerable flight-control program identified after an October incident in the United States.
- The retrofit moved quickly, with 4,000 of 4,400 in-service aircraft updated within three days and the remainder completed in four.
- Airbus reports zero aircraft are now grounded for the software issue as internal reviews seek root causes and process improvements.
- Separately, a quality problem affecting A320 fuselage panels led Airbus to trim its 2025 delivery target, with inspections under way and panel replacements limited to exceptional cases.
