Airbus Software Fault Prompts Swift Fix on Two SAA Jets

South African Airways says two of its Airbus A320s have already undergone the mandatory software rollback ordered after Airbus flagged a global flight control vulnerability. The airline says the updates were completed without disrupting schedules and that remaining aircraft will be fixed in the coming days.

Airbus issued the alert after identifying a fault linked to solar activity that could affect certain A320 family jets. Regulators insist the aircraft remain safe to operate, while SAA says it is working closely with Airbus and South African authorities to ensure full compliance.
