Airbus SE must inspect hundreds of its bestselling A320 jets for potential quality flaws in the aircraft’s body, an arduous process that risks complicating the company’s last-ditch effort to meet its delivery target.

Following the grounding of 6000 Airbus A320s this weekend, an ex-Qantas pilot has questioned the manufacturer's explanation for the issue.

Airbus is examining a newly discovered A320-family fuselage panel flaw that is delaying some deliveries, Reuters reports, adding pressure to its 2025 production push.

ET with statement from Airbus. U.S. airlines remained under modest pressure into Monday’s open after Airbus (OTCPK:EADSF) (OTCPK:EADSY) reported a software issue with its A320 fleet that impacted major U.

Airbus shares suffered their sharpest single-session fall in over a year after a report about an issue on several of its planes. Reuters, citing industry sources, reported an industrial quality issue affecting fuselage panels of several dozen aircraft in the A320 family.

Airbus has almost returned all A320 jets to service after implementing urgent software fixes due to a solar radiation vulnerability. Under 100 remain grounded.

One of the world’s largest airplane makers said Friday that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to flight controls on a “significant number” of its most popular aircraft, prompting a swift response from several airlines. Airbus attributed the revelation to a recent analysis involving its A320 family of aircraft.

It was a hectic weekend with dozens of flights cancelled and thousands of passengers affected. But behind the scenes, engineers at the country’s airlines were able to resolve the Airbus A320 software issues in less than 48 hours.
