Last week, Airbus issued its largest emergency recall ever, affecting approximately 6,000 A320 aircraft worldwide.
The recall was triggered by a software vulnerability linked to a mid-air incident, forcing airlines to revert software versions or replace hardware before affected planes could return to service.
Airlines across the United States, Europe, and Asia scrambled to implement fixes, with some grounding aircraft overnight and halting bookings during the busy holiday travel season.
