Software Glitch Grounds Thousands of Airbus Planes

Several European airlines, including Lufthansa, Swiss, and Austrian Airlines, announced they were affected by the issue. Brussels Airlines reported that none of its flights were impacted.

Sara Ricci, Airbus’s commercial aircraft division communications chief, stated that around 6,000 aircraft were affected. However, for 85 percent of the impacted aircraft, it would be a “quick fix” to the planes’ software.

“The vast majority will be back in the sky very soon,” Ricci said.

  1. Who knew that updating your software could ground more planes than a snowstorm in the Alps? Guess the skys are just too crowded with all those “quick fixes”! ✈️😅

  2. Just what we needed, a software hiccup to remind us that flying is still a game of chance. 🤷‍♂️ But no worries, right? It’s only 6,000 planes… who’s counting? 😅✈️

  3. Just what we needed—thousands of planes grounded because of a little software hiccup. I suppose it’s just Airbus’s way of reminding us that flying is still a bit of a circus 🎪.
