Most of the 6,000 Airbus aeroplanes affected by an emergency recall had undergone a software fix by Saturday morning, according to France's Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot. Flights are resuming after the European aviation giant temporarily grounded aircraft around the world on Friday night, though disruption looks set to continue throughout the weekend.
Airbus issued an unusually broad recall of A320, A319 and A321 models after identifying a problem that caused one of its best-selling planes to make a sudden nosedive at the end of October.
