Air New Zealand moved rapidly to manage disruptions after Airbus revealed that intense solar radiation could corrupt key flight-control data on A320-family jets, prompting an urgent global software update.
The airline initially announced it would ground all A320neo aircraft as a precaution, cancelling 12 flights, but later restored services until 12:59pm Sunday following revised guidance from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency that allowed temporary operations.
Air NZ said it would now roll out the required updates across its A320 fleet as quickly as possible to limit further delays, emphasising that the issue presents no immediate safety risk to passengers.
Airbus acknowledged the disruption caused but stressed that safety remains its top priority.

How long is quickly as possible?
Fly-By-Wire systems can be fried, hacked, and interfered with!
I will NEVER fly on a …’modern jetliner’ with these types of systems.

5G had proven interference on a limited basis (radio altimeters…) but an EMP. CME or an ‘X’-Class Solar Flare’ event from the sun is something totally different.
What happens when 5G, 6G and such an X-Class blend-in?
Here’s a theoretical scenario…

We need to double the salaries of all corporate air new zealand executives
and triple the size of the CEO’s real-estate properties in the Bahamas.
That way we will all be safe and accident free.
Problem fixed by software rollback..ie new update did not work.
Similar to the Boeing 737-800 software problem…
Imagine if an enemy got control of all airborne airliners via satellite link and demanded blackmail money…
