The setback appears to be among the largest recalls affecting Airbus in its 55-year history and comes weeks after the A320 overtook the Boeing 737 as the most-delivered model.
Europe's Airbus has ordered immediate repairs to 6,000 of its widely used A320 jets in a sweeping recall affecting more than half the global fleet, threatening upheaval during the busiest travel weekend of the year in the U.S. and sparking disruption worldwide.
Airbus said it has recalled some of its A320 jets due to data corruption risks from solar flares. The recall could impact hundreds of planes in the US.
The British Civil Aviation Authority said it expects some disruptions to airlines and flights operating in the country due to a major software change on a significant number of Airbus A320 jets.
