The update prompted a recall affecting six thousand jets, raising concerns that the modifications could lead to widespread weekend disruption.

However, the impact proved to be less severe than feared.

Airbus and carriers continue monitoring operations as the rollout is finalised, but the faster-than-planned implementation has helped maintain overall network stability during the transition.
