flag Airbus recalls 6,000 A320 planes over software flaw linked to solar flares, risking flight safety.

flag Airbus has recalled 6,000 A320-family jets—over half the global fleet—after a JetBlue flight’s sudden altitude drop exposed a software flaw possibly triggered by solar flares. flag EU regulators have ordered urgent fixes, mostly a two-hour rollback to earlier software, though more than 1,000 aircraft also need hardware updates. flag Major carriers including American, Delta, United, Lufthansa, easyJet, and Avianca are adjusting schedules, with some halting ticket sales or canceling flights. flag With repair capacity already strained by maintenance backlogs and labor shortages, the recall is expected to fuel significant delays and disruptions during peak holiday travel.
