¿Cómo avanzan Avianca y JetSmart en la actualización de software de los Airbus A320?
La colombiana Avianca y la chilena JetSmart avanzan en el requerimiento que el fabricante europeo Airbus realizó en la tarde del viernes, 28 de noviembre, sobre 6.000 aviones de la flota A320.
TL;DR
- Airbus mandated an immediate software update for its A320 fleet due to solar radiation affecting flight command data.
- The issue was revealed after an incident where intense solar radiation corrupted data, leading to injuries on a Cancun-Newark flight.
- Colombian airlines must complete the update before flying after 7:00 PM on November 29th.
- Avianca, with 70% of its fleet being A320 family aircraft, has updated 51% of its A320 fleet and is managing passenger rebookings and refunds.
- JetSmart stated only a small number of its aircraft were affected and its operations in Colombia remain normal.
- Latam reported only one flight disruption on the San Andres-Bogota route.
