In light of global developments and the technical directives issued by Airbus concerning the A320 fleet worldwide, EgyptAir immediately formed a specialised task force from EgyptAir Maintenance and Engineering and the Integrated Operations Control Centre (IOCC) of EgyptAir Airlines to closely follow the updates coming from Airbus and take immediate precautionary measures, as well as to assess any potential impact on operating schedules.
Direct coordination took place between the EgyptAir Maintenance and Engineering team and Airbus, and the affected aircraft of this type were identified and inspected and the necessary software updates were carried out in record time, without any impact on the regularity of the flight schedule. EgyptAir stresses that aviation safety is one of its absolute priorities and that it is committed to applying the highest standards of safety and quality at all stages of operation.

In a related context, Air Cairo carried out the tests recommended by Airbus, which proved that Air Cairo's young fleet complies with the highest safety standards recommended by Airbus and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Air Cairo apologised to its customers for the disruption to the schedules of a limited number of its flights as a result of these tests.
