Airbus is working tirelessly to resolve a software glitch affecting thousands of A320 jets worldwide. The issue, linked to intense solar radiation, caused a sudden altitude drop in a JetBlue plane last month. As a result, airlines have faced significant disruptions, with many flights canceled or delayed over the weekend.
According to The Associated Press , the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency have mandated immediate software updates to address the problem . Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury apologized for the inconvenience, noting the "significant logistical challenges and delays" caused by the fix. He assured customers that Airbus teams are "working around the clock" to implement the updates swiftly.
The directive affects over 6,000 A3
