Airbus has confirmed that its fleets are resuming normal operations after an abrupt safety issue disrupted thousands of flights over Thanksgiving weekend.
The European aerospace giant issued an unprecedented global recall after an urgent software error forced it to ground about 6,000 A320 jets—more than half of its entire international fleet.
The alert was apparently prompted by an incident on board a JetBlue flight from Cancun to New Jersey in October, when the A320’s altitude plummeted from 35,000 to just 10,000 feet, causing multiple injuries and forcing an emergency landing in Florida.
