18 Airbus A320neos Abruptly Grounded By SAS Scandinavian Airlines

In late March, SAS announced that it was suddenly grounding multiple A320neos due to the quote "need to inspect a component." As a result, 18 of the airline's aircraft were removed from service to allow inspections of a component known as the pressure regulator transmitter. Thus, while it sounds alarming that a large portion of A320neos had to be grounded, the reasoning is rather underwhelming…

SAS did not do checks within time. It is not AIRBUS fault. SEEMS SAS needs be more stringent on service interval and checks.

[@antonkristiansen673]

The interval check date was written wrong in the check system.

[@neilpickup237]

So, did SAS mess up? It sounds very much like they did.

[@vicentiumunteanu2385]

Every aircraft needs regular inspection of its components (like engines), it is part of the maintenance; safety rules

Glad it was the cabin pressure regulator instead of the barking dog that was sick 🙂 The health of that faithful dog that barks whenever engines are started is very important!

I think they are all back in service.

Click bait headline, underwhelming explanation. SAS hadn't done mandatory maintenance checks

[@sundragon7703]

Was there compensation for delaying/cancelling flights? If so, was the amount adequate?

[@EuropeanRailfan]

SAS what have you been doing?

[@gottfriedheumesser1994]

Nothing!

[@jantjarks7946]

Literally.

[@chrisb.2028]

Well, I would rather have the company lose money delaying flight and grounding planes than losing lives, so I guess everything is ok?

[@Berndje]

If it would be 18 Boeing 737 max it wouldnt be underwhelming at all, even if it would be the exact same reason why they were grounded... Thats how the media has taken everything out of proportion ppl.

[@KingTriton1837]

They don't care. It's all about the drama for these people.

[@CraigWelsh-lm3wg]

Yes, it's all about the Story. Sensationalist Journalism.

[@berthebear_real]

It’s a shame how today’s media is portraying the 737

[@michaelmccarthy9411]

Why are some of these registered in Ireland?

[@karlnicholls1784]

Leased most likely…

[@elias-ks8hi]

leased. One of the worlds biggest plane leasing firms is located there.

[@EuropeanRailfanAlt]

The same reason why like the whole ITA Airways fleet is registered in Ireland aswell.

Clickbait!!!

Would the reason be underwhelming if it was the 737?

[@danharold3087]

It is about the airline maintenance or lack of it. Not the airplane.

yes, it would

Airbus jets are still man-made, keep that in mind.

it looks underwhelming because the 737 max exists

Nah, it's underwhelming on it's own merits.

Yeah. No. That ain't it, stud. It's underwhelming all on its own.
