当地时间28日,欧洲飞机制造商空中客车宣布,将召回A320系列中的6000架飞机进行紧急维修。
路透社称,这是空客55年史上影响最大的全面召回行动之一。该机型在全球范围内广泛使用,目前超1.1万架A320系列飞机在运营中。预计此次行动将影响全球一半以上机队,并可能在美国一年中最繁忙的旅行周末引发混乱,造成全球航班中断。
Airbus has warned that a significant number of its A320 family of aircraft need an immediate software update to fix potential problems caused by solar radiation, in a move likely to lead to flight disruptions around the world.
About 6,000 aircraft, or about half of the global fleet in service, could be affected, according to people familiar with the situation.

当地时间28日,空客突然宣布大规模召回
此前,10月底美国捷蓝航空的一架飞机发生一起事故,促使空客采取行动。空客表示,在对该技术事故进行分析后,于28日通知所有使用该软件的客户“立即停止飞行”。
The decision by Airbus follows an incident on Oct 30 that involved a JetBlue aircraft flying from Cancún in Mexico to Newark, New Jersey. The plane suffered a computer glitch that resulted in a sudden drop in altitude and forced the crew to make an emergency landing in Florida.

分析结果显示,“强烈的太阳辐射可能会损坏飞行控制所需的关键数据”。这一结论已由空客方面确认。
Airbus said that analysis of the incident had revealed that "intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls".
此外,美国航空公司当日表示,由于大量空客A320飞机需要进行重大软件升级,预计将出现一些运营延误。澳大利亚捷星航空、新西兰航空公司、日本全日空航空、哥伦比亚航空公司也宣布,由于空中客车公司对全球超过6000架A320系列客机实施紧急维修,部分由A320机型执飞的航班已被迫停飞。
