Most
Airbus A320s that experienced a recent software issue have now been
fixed after a recall prompted by a mid-air incident involving intense
solar radiation potentially corrupting flight-control data
.
Airbus ordered an urgent software update for approximately 6,000
A320-family jets, which led to some flight cancellations and delays over
the weekend as airlines performed the necessary repairs. As of December
1, 2025, most aircraft have been updated, with fewer than 100 still
needing work, say The Hindu. This video explains what happened with the Airbus A320 software issue and why there was a recall:
- Cause: An incident on a flight from Cancun to Newark where the plane experienced a sharp loss of altitude, which Airbus attributes to high-intensity solar radiation corrupting the flight control software.
- Action: Airbus issued an Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) for an immediate software update for about 6,000 A320-family jets.
- Impact: The global recall caused widespread flight disruptions, with some cancellations and delays as airlines took jets out of service for the necessary repairs.
- Resolution: Most airlines have now completed the fix, with American Airlines finishing on all of its jets by November 29, 2025. Airbus is continuing to support the remaining airlines in getting their planes updated.
