In the past few days, thousands of Airbus planes had to be grounded for a software update after it was discovered that intense solar radiation could interfere with onboard flight control computers. Around 6,000 A320 planes were thought to be affected - half the European firm's global fleet - but many were able to fly again within hours after undergoing the update. The UK's aviation regulator said there would be "some disruption and cancellations to flights" though the impact at airports appears to be limited. Airbus said it discovered the issue after an investigation into an incident in which a plane flying between the US and Mexico suddenly lost altitude in October. Photo by JMP/ABACAPRESS.COM
