<h2 class="wp-block-heading">âï¸ <strong>1. Airbus A320 Software Glitch – Global Crisis Explained</strong></h2>



<p>The <strong>Airbus A320 Software Glitch</strong> has triggered the largest sudden grounding of aircraft in recent aviation history, with <strong>over 350 A320 family planes</strong> pulled out of service. Aviation regulators such as EASA and India’s DGCA issued emergency directives on <strong>28 November 2025</strong>, ordering airlines to halt operations of affected jets immediately.</p>



<p>This grounding affects A320ceo and A320neo aircraft, including <strong>A319, A320, and A321</strong> variants. The decision has caused mass flight cancellations, operational chaos, and financial losses across airlines worldwide.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">â ï¸ <strong>2. What Caused the A320 Flight Control Failure?</strong></h2>



<p>At the heart of the <strong>Airbus A320 Software Glitch</strong> is a critical bug in the <strong>Flight Control Primary Computer (FCPC)</strong> version installed earlier in 2025.<br>The glitch is dangerous because:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>During rare multi-sensor failures</li>



<li>The FCPC misinterprets control inputs</li>



<li>Incorrect commands may be sent to the <strong>elevators and rudder</strong></li>



<li>Result: <strong>Possible loss of aircraft control</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Although no accidents occurred, Airbus classified the risk as <strong>“severe”</strong> after internal simulation tests.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ð« <strong>3. Airlines Most Affected Worldwide</strong></h2>



<p>Airlines grounding A320 family planes include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>IndiGo</li>



<li>Air India</li>



<li>Vistara</li>



<li>GoFirst remnants</li>



<li>VietJet</li>



<li>easyJet</li>



<li>Major Chinese carriers</li>



<li>Middle Eastern regional airlines</li>
</ul>



<p>IndiGo is cancelling <strong>70+ flights per day</strong>, with disruptions continuing until mid-December.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ð° <strong>4. Passenger Rights: Refunds, Rebooking &; Compensation</strong></h2>



<p>Under EU261 and India’s DGCA rules, passengers are entitled to:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Full refund OR free rebooking</strong></li>



<li><strong>Compensation up to â¹20,000 (India)</strong></li>



<li><strong>Compensation up to €600 (EU)</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Many airlines are refusing payouts by calling this an “extraordinary circumstance,” but lawyers argue a <strong>known software defect</strong> is NOT extraordinary.<br>ð Fight for your rightful compensation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ð« <strong>5. Airports Facing Maximum Disruptions</strong></h2>



<p>Major airports hit hardest by the <strong>Airbus A320 </strong>software glitch:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Delhi</li>



<li>Mumbai</li>



<li>Bengaluru</li>



<li>Hyderabad</li>



<li>Dubai</li>



<li>London Gatwick</li>



<li>Ho Chi Minh City</li>
</ul>



<p>Passengers flying in December–January should check flight status frequently.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ð©ï¸ <strong>6. Should You Switch to Boeing Flights?</strong></h2>



<p>To avoid last-minute cancellations, consider switching to:<br>â Boeing <strong>737</strong><br>â Boeing <strong>787 Dreamliner</strong><br>â Airlines with fewer A320s: <strong>SpiceJet</strong>, <strong>Akasa Air</strong>, <strong>Emirates</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ð ï¸ <strong>7. When Will Airbus Fix the Issue?</strong></h2>



<p>Airbus has released software version <strong>9.8.1</strong>, promising:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>40% fleet restored by 8 December 2025</strong></li>



<li>Full resolution expected by <strong>15 December 2025</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>But airline engineers say testing and certification could still cause delays.</p>
