On the evening of November 28, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) requested airlines worldwide operating Airbus aircraft including the A319, A320, and A321 to replace equipment or update the ELAC (elevation and direction control) computer software. The regulation takes effect from 6:59 a.m. on November 30 (Vietnam time). On the night of November 28, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam held an urgent meeting with domestic airlines to implement the plan. 81 out of 169 A320/321 aircraft nationwide will be affected and will need to replace equipment.
In the coming days, some flights will be affected by the implementation of the manufacturer's request. Airlines have reviewed and prepared supplies, spare parts, software, and human resources for immediate implementation and set a target of completing as soon as possible according to the request of EASA and the manufacturer Airbus. Airlines are also urgently reviewing their operating plans, especially on November 30 and December 1, to make appropriate adjustments and minimize flight cancellations that affect passengers.
The leaders of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam assessed this as a force majeure situation. To ensure aviation safety and limit the impact on passengers, the Authority directed Vietnamese airlines to urgently replace equipment or update ELAC computer control software and review operating plans, adjust flight schedules accordingly, and minimize the impact on passengers.
