Airbus is examining a newly discovered A320-family fuselage panel flaw that is delaying some deliveries, Reuters reports, adding pressure to its 2025 production push.

Europe's Airbus said on Friday it was ordering immediate repairs to 6,000 of its widely used A320 family of jets in a sweeping recall affecting more than half the global fleet, threatening upheaval during the busiest travel weekend of the year in the United States and disruption worldwide.

Airbus on Wednesday lowered its 2025 aircraft delivery goal due to a quality problem with the A320 family. In a statement, the manufacturer dropped its delivery target from around 820 airplanes to around 790. It cited a "recent supplier quality issue on fuselage panels impacting its A320 family delivery flow."

Airbus issued an urgent directive on a “significant number" of A320 family aircraft, potentially disrupting travel. Here’s what we know.

Precautionary rectification of a suspected vulnerability on some 6,000 Airbus A320- and A320neo-family jets have largely been completed. Airbus states that fewer than 100 affected aircraft remain from the global fleet.

A solar radiation–linked software flaw in Airbus A320 jets triggered urgent global fixes, causing possible delays but no safety risk for travelers.
