Did you experience flight delays in November 2025? ๐ฌ
In November 2025,
@Airbus recalled some of its aircraft fleet for a software update following an intense solar radiation event - a reminder that space weather doesnโt stop at the edge of space.
Solar eruptions can light up the sky with auroras, but they can also disturb the environment around Earth. And at cruising altitude, aircraft are high enough to feel those effects.
So if your flight was delayed last November, the Sun might have been part of the story.
