What happened: Airbus has repaired the software issue affecting thousands of its A320 jets, reducing the number of planes needing updates to fewer than 100. The glitch had caused widespread flight cancellations and delays worldwide over the weekend.
Why it matters:
- Restoring most jets to service helps ease travel disruptions for millions of passengers.
- Airlines and airports can now better manage schedules and reduce operational losses.
MNN Take: The swift response by Airbus to fix the software problem prevented prolonged travel chaos. Ongoing updates on the remaining jets will be crucial to fully normalise flight operations.
