Thousands of Airbus A320 airliners around the world might... require a software update, potentially causing flight delays or cancellations during the busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Airbus identified an apparent issue relating to "intense solar radiation," which "may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls" and recommended an emergency software update to the A320 family of aircraft – a common passenger plane for U.S. carriers. This emergency update stems from an incident Oct. 30 when a JetBlue flight traveling from Cancun, Mexico, to Newark, New Jersey, experienced an issue with its flight controls. The plane dropped about 100 feet in seven seconds, according to preliminary flight data from Flightradar24, and was diverted to Tampa, Florida.show more
