Update: 2025-12-01
Description
Airbus swiftly addresses safety concerns with urgent software changes, following a vulnerability to solar flares discovered on a JetBlue A320 aircraft. The company orders a temporary grounding and mandates a software update, affecting dozens of airlines worldwide. The fix involves reverting to an earlier software version, requiring a cable-based upload to prevent cyberattacks. Questions remain about a subset of older A320-family jets needing new computers. This marks Airbus first large-scale global safety attention since the Boeing 737 MAX crisis, with CEO Guillaume Faury apologizing and signaling a shift in tone for the industry.
