-- In line with the urgent Airworthiness Directive (AD) issued by certification authorities requiring airlines to roll back the software on the Airbus A320 Family, AirAsia Aviation Group (AirAsia) will implement the mandated changes beginning today, 29 November 2025. This directive does not impact its A330 fleet.
In compliance with the AD, AirAsia is prioritising the timely implementation of the rollback and will adjust flight operations accordingly. According to media reports citing Airbus sources, around 6000 aircraft could be impacted globally across the industry.
AirAsia will reach out to directly notify guests on affected flights and service recovery options. Guests are also encouraged to stay updated on their flights via the AirAsia MOVE app (airasia.com/flightstatus), the AskBo chatbot, and their registered email for the latest information.
Bo Lingam, Group CEO of AirAsia Aviation Group said: “We are taking immediate steps to comply with the Airworthiness Directive and aim to complete the process within the next 48 hours, while ensuring minimal disruption to our guests. We seek our guests’ understanding, as these mandated measures are essential in upholding the highest standards of operational safety. We would also like to thank our engineering teams, who began the process immediately and are working around the clock to complete the required actions.”
