Airbus has revealed that the number of Airbus A320 family aircraft that have not yet complied with the previously announced Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) has fallen to fewer than 100.
Approximately 6,000 aircraft are affected. In response to emergency airworthiness directives (EAD) issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), airlines around the world are carrying out modification work. The majority have already completed these modifications.
Among Japanese airlines, All Nippon Airways (ANA) cancelled a total of 101 flights on November 29 and 30. No flight cancellations occurred at Jetstar Japan, Peach Aviation, or StarFlyer.
Airbus commented, “We apologize for the inconvenience and delays caused to passengers and airlines as a result of this situation. We would like to express our gratitude to our customers, the relevant authorities, our employees, and all stakeholders who cooperated in implementing these measures, as well as for their understanding of Airbus’s decision to put safety above all else.”
