On 9 July 2026, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2026‑0134, superseding the previous Emergency AD 2025‑0268‑E.

This directive targets certain Airbus A320 family aircraft to address a software-related vulnerability that was introduced by a recent onboard computer update. The update aims to ensure continued operational safety and reliability.

AD 2026‑0134 provides clarifications and alternative methods for compliance and references Airbus service and inspection documentation to assist in implementation.

Aircraft operators are advised to adhere strictly to the compliance requirements outlined in this AD to maintain the airworthiness and safety standards of the affected aeroplanes.
