‘No flights cancelled ‘: Air India says Airbus safety checks won’t affect schedule for long

Air India on Saturday said that there have been no cancellations due to the EASA and Airbus directives for a mandatory software and hardware realignment on A320 family aircraft worldwide.

The airline said that there isn’t any major impact on schedule integrity across our network. “However, some of our flights may be slightly delayed or rescheduled. Our colleagues on ground are there to assist the passengers.”

Giving an update on the Airbus directive, the airline said, “We have already completed the reset on over 40% of our aircraft that are impacted by this, and are confident of covering the entire fleet within the timeline prescribed by EASA.”
