TAIPEI (Taiwan News) —  Two-thirds of Taiwan’s A320-series jets are affected by a new Airbus recall to fix an urgent issue with the aircraft.

Airbus has ordered immediate repairs for 6,000 A320-series aircraft worldwide, which primarily involve a software update to address a flight control system issue, per CNA. According to the Civil Aviation Administration, there are 67 A320 and A321 aircraft operated by Taiwanese airlines.

Taiwan Tigerair said it will begin software fixes soon and expects to adjust flight schedules. China Airlines, EVA Air, and Starlux Airlines said their operations remain unaffected.

The administration said it received the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s emergency airworthiness directive early Saturday and immediately notified airlines to carry out inspections and any required repairs. The agency ordered all checks to be finished before the directive takes effect at 8 a.m. Sunday.

The administration also reminded flight crews to follow emergency procedures if flight-control issues arise. It instructed airlines to promptly inform passengers of any schedule changes and protect their rights during the inspection period.

Tigerair Taiwan said the emergency directive AD 2025-0268-E affects all A320-series aircraft worldwide, including its fleet. The airline said it has already completed required equipment and system updates and will continue upgrading software to the version specified by Airbus, with additional schedule adjustments expected.

China Airlines said operations remain normal, although some aircraft will undergo software updates. EVA Air said required procedures are underway and flights are operating normally.

Starlux Airlines said its A321neo fleet is unaffected. Reuters reported the recall appears to be the largest in Airbus’ 55-year history.
