Passengers face disruption as Airbus makes software updates to thousands of planes Open in Bbc.com
Highlights
  • Airbus confirms an unspecified number of aircraft will undergo inspections after a supplier quality issue with metal panels on some A320 jets, weeks after thousands were grounded for software fixes.
  • The inspections will determine which aircraft have panel quality issues, as Airbus takes a conservative approach even if not all planes require repairs.
  • More than 6,000 Airbus aircraft needed emergency computer updates during a major recall tied to potential solar-radiation interference, causing widespread disruption over a holiday weekend.
