A stream of high-energy particles from a distant supernova explosion may have caused a packed passenger jet to suddenly lose altitude in late October, forcing an emergency landing.

According to Airbus, some of its A320 passenger jets have had to undergo a major software update that protects aircraft from solar radiation.

Airbus and European aviation safety regulators say an aircraft heavily used by commercial airlines around the world needs a software fix to address an issue that contributed to a sudden drop in altitude of a JetBlue plane last month.

Airbus grounded over 6,000 of its widely used jets for an urgent software update after one suddenly lost altitude mid-flight — a decision that could throw the global holiday travel season into chaos.

The Transport Accident Investigation Commission is unsure how many other planes are likely to be affected by the problem, which caused an Airbus A320 engine to shut down during a flight.

Airbus issued an urgent directive on a “significant number" of A320 family aircraft, potentially disrupting travel. Here’s what we know.

Thousands of the most popular passenger aircraft in the world need emergency maintenance to protect from a problem that injured passengers and caused an emergency landing last month.

Airbus' stock shares declined after the European aeospace manufacturer announced a recall of its A320 planes for a software update after a jet's incident.

Airbus has initiated an urgent recall impacting up to 6,000 of its A320-family aircraft, following the discovery of a critical software issue linked to solar radiation interference, a move that threatens significant travel disruptions worldwide.

Airbus has adjusted its aircraft delivery goals due to challenges with off-spec panels and necessary software updates for its A320 series. These setbacks have shaken investor confidence. On the flip side,
