Approximately 6,000 Airbus aircraft will be grounded to undergo a critical software update to avoid potential data corruption that can interfere with safe operation in flight.
Airbus is telling airlines that emergency repairs to some of the A320 jets affected by a major recall may be less burdensome than first thought, industry sources said on Saturday.
An order for an immediate software fix for the A320 disrupted flights worldwide during a peak travel period. A JetBlue incident on Oct. 30 triggered EASA's emergency action.
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.
