EASA Issues Safety Directive for Airbus A320neo Family Over Depressurization Risk
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued an airworthiness directive for the Airbus A320neo family, warning of a potential risk of rapid cabin depressurization. The issue stems from the aircraft's door and over-wing exit slide-raft operating systems, which could be inadvertently activated. EASA's directive mandates inspections and the replacement of specific components to mitigate this safety concern. In other news, U.S. airline operations are beginning to stabilize after significant disruptions caused by severe weather. Meanwhile, Airbus has started the final assembly of the first A321XLR aircraft for its launch customer, Qantas.
