Airbus has updated most of its 6,000 A320 passenger jets to fix a software glitch that could affect flight controls

Dozens of airlines said they had carried out snap software retrofits ordered by Airbus after a vulnerability to solar flares emerged.

A solar radiation–linked software flaw in Airbus A320 jets triggered urgent global fixes, causing possible delays but no safety risk for travelers.

A320 planes are flown by a number of domestic and international airlines, and the required software update could lead to "operational disruptions to passengers and customers," according to Airbus.

Airbus' stock shares declined after the European aeospace manufacturer announced a recall of its A320 planes for a software update after a jet's incident.

Airbus SE must inspect hundreds of its bestselling A320 jets for potential quality flaws in the aircraft’s body, an arduous process that risks complicating the company’s last-ditch effort to meet its delivery target.

New Zealand's Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) has concluded that an uncommanded engine shutdown suffered by an Air New Zealand A320neo last year was caused by a damaged component in the engine fire control panel.
