Indian aviation authorities have confirmed significant progress in addressing software issues affecting Airbus A320 family aircraft operating in the country. According to latest data from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), more than half of the affected planes have now received necessary software updates.
Update Progress and Operational Impact
Software updates have been successfully completed for over 50% of the impacted A320 family aircraft across Indian airlines. The DGCA monitoring the situation closely as airlines work to implement the required technical modifications across their fleets.
While the update process has proceeded without major disruptions, aviation sources confirmed to PTI that some operational challenges have emerged. The maintenance work has resulted in scheduling adjustments for several flights, though authorities have managed to avoid complete cancellations.
Passenger Experience and Delay Patterns
Travelers on affected routes have been experiencing delays ranging between 60 to 90 minutes for some flights. These disruptions occur as airlines coordinate the software installation process while maintaining their regular flight schedules.
The aviation industry has implemented contingency measures to minimize passenger inconvenience. Airlines are proactively communicating with affected passengers and providing regular updates about the status of their flights.
Regulatory Oversight and Future Timeline
The DGCA continues to oversee the update process, ensuring that all safety protocols are strictly followed. The regulatory body has emphasized that passenger safety remains the highest priority throughout this technical upgrade initiative.
With more than half of the affected aircraft already updated, aviation experts anticipate the remaining work to be completed in the coming days. The coordinated effort between regulators, airlines, and maintenance teams aims to restore normal operations while maintaining the highest safety standards for Indian air travel.
