Airlines around the world have begun reporting flight delays and cancellations due to software updates for Airbus 320 aircraft.
Therefore, the Saudi airline Flynas reported on social network X that these measures were taken after receiving instructions from Airbus.
“As a result, certain portions of our fleet will undergo software and technical recalibration, resulting in increased time between restricted flight operations and some delays in our operating schedule,” the statement said.
New Zealand's Air New Zealand airline also reported similar measures on social network X. According to her, due to software updates, aircraft flights may be interrupted.

At the same time, Indian television channel NDTV quoted industry sources as saying that the operations of airlines IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express may be disrupted.
A few hours earlier, Airbus said it would conduct an emergency software update on the A320 aircraft due to detecting problems with the control system. Based on the results of the analysis, company employees found that with intense solar radiation, data necessary for flight control may be distorted.
In that context, Air France canceled 35 flights. Japanese airline All Nippon Airways canceled 65 domestic flights.
Previously, the Kremlin responded to the proposal of the head of Airbus to deploy nuclear weapons in Europe.
