Airlines around the world reported short-term disruptions heading into the weekend as they fixed software on a widely used commercial aircraft, after an analysis found the computer code may have contributed to a sudden drop in the altitude of a JetBlue plane last month. Airbus said Friday that an examination of the JetBlue incident revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls on the A320 family of aircraft. FRANCE 24 speaks to Anita Mendiratta, strategic advisor, author, diplomat specialising in leadership, tourism and aviation to better understand the situation.
