Airbus A320 Issue Sounds Dramatic, But Impact Likely Limited -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-01

0650 GMT - The directive to order Airbus A320 fixes sounds dramatic, but Citi analyst Charles Armitage estimates a limited fundamental impact. Regulators mandated the software and in some cases hardware fixes late last week after it was discovered that interference from intense solar radiation had corrupted data used for flight controls on an Airbus jet operated by JetBlue Airways in October. Under regulators' emergency order, jets could be temporarily grounded if certain updates weren't completed by yesterday. Citi estimates the cost of the software rollback to be in the order of 2.5 million to 7.5 million euros and the hardware replacement in the order of 50 million to 100 million euros. "We do not know whether Airbus will have to pay compensation," Armitage adds. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
