Urgent Software Change Required for Hundreds of Airbus Aircraft
November 28, 2025
Airbus announced that around 6,000 aircraft, mostly from the A320 series, need immediate software changes due to vulnerabilities identified under high solar radiation. Airlines are warned that there might be disruptions and cancellations during the repair process. This decision was triggered by an incident involving a JetBlue flight that faced severe flight control issues. Approximately 50% of the global A320 fleet is affected. The EU Aviation Safety Agency is expected to issue guidelines regarding the airworthiness of the aircraft.
