After roughly 6,000 Airbus A320 jetliners around the world received an urgent software update earlier this week, the European plane maker has also addressed a follow-on issue on some of its other A320 aircraft. An Airbus spokesperson told Fox News that only eliminated number of jets made at the US plant required metal panels to be corrected due to a supplier issue.

The manufacturer said that only a very limited number of the jets built at the plant in Mobile, Alabama, required fixing. The maker says it was a supplier quality issue that the company now claims has been resolved. Airbus just recently opened its second assembly line for the A320 in Mobile, Alabama , with the plant having delivered over 600 examples since it spooled up in 2015.
