DGCA directs grounding of Airbus jets pending software fix
India’s aviation regulator on Saturday asked airlines not to fly A320-family aircraft pending mandatory modifications and software fixes, after aeroplane maker Airbus warned that solar radiation could corrupt flight-control data on many in-service jets.
The directive covers 338 jets, 80% (270 aircraft) of which have already received the software upgrade by Saturday evening, said the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
