Volaris Completed EASA-Mandated A320 Inspections and Repairs with No Cancellations and Minimal Delays

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: VLRS and BMV: VOLAR) (“Volaris” or “the Company”), the ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) serving Mexico, the United States, Central and South America, announed today the successful completion of all inspections and repairs required under the Airworthiness directive issued last Friday by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on the official notification from Airbus (AOT Alert Operators Transmission) affecting approximately 6,000 A320-family aircraft worldwide. The directive addressed a flight-control software issue potentially influenced by solar flares, and in some cases required associated hardware checks.

Volaris completed the full scope of work across its fleet without a single flight cancellation and with only minimal delays, ensuring passengers remained largely unaffected throughout the process.

Enrique Beltranena, Volaris’ President and CEO, said: “Our technical and operational teams responded with exceptional speed and discipline. Their seamless coordination with Airbus and authorities allowed us to maintain our full schedule while ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability.”

Key points:

  • All required software updates and hardware verifications have been finalized.
  • No major impact to passenger itineraries, with zero cancellations.
  • Only minor delays were recorded as aircraft returned to service.
  • No material financial impact is expected.

Volaris reaffirmed its commitment to operational excellence, safety leadership and proactive fleet management, noting that the incident underscores the airline’s ability to respond swiftly to manufacturer and regulatory mandates while protecting the customer experience.
