More than 70 domestic flights in the Philippines were canceled or delayed on November 29, 2025, as airlines grounded Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft for a mandatory software update. The update addresses a potential data corruption issue from solar radiation affecting flight controls, following a European Union Aviation Safety Agency directive. Local carriers Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia Philippines scrambled to comply, impacting thousands of passengers.
Airbus announced that up to 628 A320 aircraft could be inspected due to quality issues on metallic panels. The manufacturer clarified that this figure is a maximum estimate and not all planes are necessarily affected. Inspections are ongoing, reducing the number of potentially impacted aircraft.

A software glitch in Airbus A320 jets triggered a partial recall, halting hundreds of flights across Asia, Europe, and threatening U.S. travel. Japan's All Nippon Airways canceled 95 domestic flights on Saturday, impacting about 13,200 passengers. Airlines worked overnight to fix the issue and avert wider disruptions during the year's busiest weekend.
Airbus has identified a software flaw in its A320 planes that can be affected by intense solar radiation, prompting the recall of about 6000 aircraft worldwide. An incident on October 30 involving a JetBlue flight led to sudden altitude loss and injuries to at least 15 people. The measures are expected to cause flight disruptions for several major airlines.
