Air New Zealand expects disruptions after Airbus A320 recall

Air New Zealand AIR.NZ said the Airbus AIR.PA A320 recall will lead to a disruption of "a number of" its flights on Saturday and cancellations are also expected.

The national carrier of New Zealand said in a post on X that all A320neo aircraft will receive a software update before their next passenger service, leading to a number of interruptions and cancellations across the fleet.

Europe's Airbus said on Friday it was ordering immediate repairs to 6,000 of its widely used A320 family of jets in a sweeping recall affecting more than half the global fleet, sparking disruption worldwide.
