PARIS, Nov 29 (Reuters) – Airbus is telling airlines that emergency repairs to some of the A320 jets affected by a major recall may be less burdensome than first thought, industry sources said on Saturday.
Although some 6,000 jets remain impacted overall, a sub-set of jets needing a time-consuming hardware change rather than a quick software fix is smaller than the initial estimates of 1,000, they said.
Airbus had no immediate comment.
