Airbus Says Most A320 Jets Affected by Recall Now Modified

Airbus said on Monday that the vast majority of the around 6,000 A320-family aircraft affected by a safety alert have now been modified, with fewer than 100 jets still requiring work.

The European planemaker on Friday ordered immediate repairs to its widely used family of jets due to a flight-control software issue.

Airbus said it was working with airline customers to support modifications on the remaining aircraft to return them to service.
