Airbus has initiated a major software recall for its A320 aircraft, impacting 6,000 planes worldwide. The recall follows a critical incident in October 2025, where a JetBlue flight experienced an unintended pitch-down due to data corruption from solar radiation. This has prompted regulatory bodies, including EASA and FAA, to demand immediate repairs, causing significant flight cancellations and operational disruptions. Airlines such as American Airlines and ANA have been heavily affected, with ANA canceling 95 flights, impacting 13,200 passengers. The recall has also led to a decline in Airbus stock (EADSY) and raised concerns about the vulnerabilities of software-dependent aviation systems. The aerospace industry is now expected to focus on developing radiation-resistant software and modernizing fleets to prevent future incidents.
