Airbus is expecting to deliver fewer planes this year due to an issue with fuselage panels on some A320 planes

Airbus confirmed on Monday it faced an industrial quality issue with metal panels on some A320-family jets, in its latest challenge after a recall to fix a computer glitch.

Dozens of airlines said they had carried out snap software retrofits ordered by Airbus after a vulnerability to solar flares emerged.

A320 planes are flown by a number of domestic and international airlines, and the required software update could lead to "operational disruptions to passengers and customers," according to Airbus.

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

Nov 28 (Reuters) - Europe's Airbus (AIR.PA) ordered immediate repairs to 6,000 of its widely used A320 jets in a sweeping recall affecting more than half the global fleet, threatening upheaval during the busiest travel weekend of the year in the U.S. and sparking disruption worldwide.

Airbus has dropped its delivery target for the year by 30 planes after it identified a fuselage issue in the A320 line that needs inspection.

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.

Airbus cut its 2025 delivery target to around 790 commercial aircraft on Wednesday, 30 fewer than previously expected

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.

Colombian carrier Avianca must perform software "downgrades" on roughly two dozen remaining Airbus A320-family aircraft as it works to fully resolve a vulnerability issue by 3 December.
