The UK aviation authority warns of potential disruptions to flights due to a software change affecting Airbus A320 jets. Passengers should verify flight status with airlines.
(Reuters) -The British Civil Aviation Authority said it expects some disruptions to airlines and flights operating in the country due to a major software change on a significant number of Airbus A320 jets.
"We have been made aware of an issue that may affect some of the A320 family of aircraft and the precautionary action that EASA has taken," Giancarlo Buono, director of aviation safety at the UK Civil Aviation Authority said.
Passengers should check with their airline whether their flights are affected, he added.

The British Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing civil aviation in the UK, ensuring safety and compliance within the aviation industry.
The Airbus A320 is a family of narrow-body aircraft designed for short to medium-haul flights, widely used by airlines around the world for its efficiency and comfort.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is responsible for ensuring safety and environmental protection in civil aviation across Europe, including the certification of aircraft and operators.
A software change in aviation typically involves updates or modifications to the systems that control aircraft operations, which can affect flight safety and efficiency.
