An Airbus A320 suddenly dipped mid‑air after a powerful solar flare corrupted its flight‑control signals — triggering a global advisory and grounding parts of the fleet. Within a day, Airbus faced a second blow: a fresh quality issue involving metal fuselage panels, briefly wiping 10% off its share price. The twin shocks — one cosmic, one corporate — expose a deeper problem: the world relies on just two aircraft makers, Airbus and Boeing. With no fallback, even a minor glitch can ripple across global aviation.
