Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury apologized after the company completed a massive software update on nearly 6,000 A320 aircraft in response to a critical safety issue that caused JetBlue Flight 1230 to make an emergency landing and led to widespread flight disruptions, with fewer than 100 jets still grounded awaiting retrofit.Airbus also disclosed that up to 628 A320 aircraft require inspection due to a quality issue with fuselage panels, forcing a reduction in its 2025 delivery target while maintaining its financial forecasts.Airbus's stock price dropped nearly 7% on the
Paris stock exchange this week following these revelations, despite the
A320 remaining the world’s best-selling commercial aircraft.
