flag Airbus recalls 6,000 A320 jets over software flaw linked to solar flares, causing delays and grounding.

flag Airbus has issued a major recall of about 6,000 A320-family jets—over half the global fleet—due to a software issue potentially caused by solar flares corrupting flight control data. flag The move, prompted by a JetBlue flight’s uncommanded altitude drop in October, requires airlines to revert to older software versions, grounding planes temporarily. flag Major carriers including American Airlines, Delta, Lufthansa, and Avianca reported delays or cancellations, with some halting ticket sales. flag The European Union Aviation Safety Agency mandated the fix, and repairs, taking about two hours per aircraft, are underway amid existing maintenance backlogs.
