"At least 35 flights were canceled at Paris Charles de Gaulle on Friday, causing major disruption after European aviation giant Airbus recalled a 'significant number' of in-service A320 family aircraft. "A recent event involving an A320 Family aircraft has revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls," Airbus said in its statement. The company said it 'proactively' worked with the aviation authorities to request ‘immediate precautionary action’ to 'implement the available software and/or hardware protection.' According to media reports, the alert was issued after a JetBlue flight en route to Newark, New Jersey, from Mexico's Cancun made an emergency landing in Florida following a sudden altitude drop on October 30."
