Just got this text as waiting to board

Due to an issue affecting Airbus A320 operators globally, some of Jetstar’s Airbus-operated flights are unable to depart at this stage. We’re working through the impacts on our fleet and to our customers. We'll have more information shortly. We apologise to customers for the inconvenience caused.

The Neos need an upgrade before being allowed to fly. Awful. Hopefully they can fix it for you quickly.
 
Our flight now boarding 2 other flights cancelled in the last 5 mins. Luggage had been loaded so feel very sorry for those people it is going to be a long day for them
 
Worldwide A319/320/321 fleet grounded due to EASA emergency airworthiness directive (unless aircraft already fixed)

Was on last QF flight to BNE last night. Several JQ pax and the flight was completely full
Worst time to happen because of private school holidays starting today and end of year travel

Airbus.com---> Airbus update on A320 Family precautionary fleet action
Read on 1 site, 5100 aircraft may be effected

Toulouse, France, 28 November 2025 – Analysis of 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 has consequently identified a significant number of A320 Family aircraft currently in-service which may be impacted.

Airbus has worked proactively with the aviation authorities to request immediate precautionary action from operators via an Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) in order to implement the available software and/or hardware protection, and ensure the fleet is safe to fly. This AOT will be reflected in an Emergency Airworthiness Directive from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

Airbus acknowledges these recommendations will lead to operational disruptions to passengers and customers. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and will work closely with operators, while keeping safety as our number one and overriding priority.

'The Australian' has an extensive report online, with more to come. I've mentioned it briefly in 'Jetstar cancellations/delays' on AFF.

AirNZ is also adversely affected, cancelling 12 flights today "with further disruption expected".
