Airbus reported on Monday that the necessary modifications have already been made to most of the aircraft. 6,000 A320 family aircraft potentially affected by a problem which could cause flight controls to malfunction. Specifically, the aircraft manufacturer warned on Friday that, following an incident, it had been detected that intense solar radiation could corrupt data critical to the operation of the A320 aircraft's flight controls. After detecting this problem, Airbus asked operators to take immediate preventative measures to implement available software or hardware protection and ensure fleet safety. This Monday, the aircraft manufacturer reported that, of a total of approximately 6,000 aircraft potentially affected by this issue, the vast majority have already received the necessary modifications. "We are working with our airline customers to support the modification of the remaining fewer than 100 aircraft and ensure they can return to service," the company added. Airbus apologized for the difficulties and delays caused to passengers and airlines by this incident. "The company thanks its customers, the authorities, its employees, and all stakeholders for their support in implementing these measures, as well as their understanding of Airbus's decision to prioritize safety above all other considerations," it emphasized.

The business world is full of anglicisms, acronyms, and names that seem straight out of a superhero comic. If the Big Four are the four largest global consulting firms, in the United States the Big Three are made up of the trio of the country's main commercial airlines: American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines. At the end of last year, this group of airlines was rubbing their hands together in anticipation of a year of greater tourism boom and record travel across the Atlantic. However, the trade war driven by Donald Trump has also put their business at risk, and the markets are already showing uncertainty surrounding the sector's immediate future, with falls in share values and more moderate-than-expected growth forecasts.
