Airbus thanks EgyptAir for setting global example in A320 crisis management

The Technical Support Manager at Airbus, Simon Kung, expressed his gratitude to the EgyptAir Holding Company for the performance of Egypt’s maintenance and engineering teams during an urgent global technical crisis affecting thousands of Airbus A320 aircraft, BBC News Arabic reported

According to a post by Kung on LinkedIn, EgyptAir successfully inspected the A320 aircraft in its fleet, along with those belonging to its subsidiary, Air Cairo, and implemented urgent technical updates to a critical aircraft software program that was experiencing a technical fault, according to BBC.

Crucially, the entire operation was accomplished in just eight hours with no impact on flight regularity.

Kung hailed the EgyptAir Holding Company for its “quick response and precise execution of the updates,” calling the handling of the situation a model in crisis management, the article clarified.
