India&rsquo;s major airlines have made significant progress in resolving the global Airbus A320 software issue that disrupted flight operations worldwide. IndiGo confirmed that it has completed the mandatory system enhancement across its entire A320-family fleet, covering all 200 aircraft.
The airline said the upgrade required careful planned coordination between engineering and operations teams to ensure stable service. Despite the scale of the task, IndiGo completed the fleet-wide update without cancellations and with minimal passenger inconvenience. All aircraft now operate with the latest approved configuration, with continuous performance monitoring as part of standard safety checks.
The issue arose after the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued a global directive requiring software upgrades in the Airbus A320 fleet. The fix involved the Elevator and Aileron Computer (ELAC), a key component of the aircraft&rsquo;s flight control system. EASA had identified vulnerabilities in specific ELAC B L104 units, prompting action across fleets worldwide.
Air India also reported major progress, stating that more than 90 per cent of its operational A320 aircraft have completed the required software reset. The airline expects full compliance within the timeline set by EASA. Teams worked around the clock to avoid disruptions, maintaining schedule integrity and preventing cancellations.
According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), around 338 flights in India were affected by the global issue. The regulator said it continues to closely monitor the situation to ensure seamless operations across airports.
