After the sudden immobilization of 6,000 Airbus A320s, here are the simplest methods to check if your flight is affected.
The massive recall of the A320 fleet—about 6,000 aircraft grounded within hours—has plunged many travelers into uncertainty. This global grounding, caused by a vulnerability discovered in a flight control computer, has resulted in cancellations, delays, and last-minute reorganizations. In the face of such a large-scale situation, it becomes essential to quickly find out if your flight is still on or canceled. Fortunately, several tools are available to get reliable answers, regardless of your departure country.
In France, the most direct method remains to consult the website or mobile app of your airline. Carriers update their information in real time: a simple flight number is enough to know the status. Automatic notifications via SMS or email, if you provided your contact details during booking, are also a good reflex. In major airports, dedicated pages for live traffic also allow you to check the status of flights minute by minute.
