Aging transition (AT) is studied for a ring of locally coupled Suart-Landau oscillators such that a fraction of them chosen randomly is inactivated. An AT is a transition to a steady state observed when the ratio of inactive oscillators p exceeds a critical value pc. It is numerically shown that such a transition disappears for 
as 
, where N is the system size and the exponent γ depends on parameters. Moreover, it is found that the phase coherence of the system can improve by aging-induced disorder.
