Not only can an Airbus (or any other commercial aircraft) not "stand still" in the air, it must be going at least 155 knots (or approx 175 miles per hour) in order to stay in the air, relative to the wind speed. If it falls below that relative speed it will simply fall out of the air. I remember in the middle of one flight, a passenger called the flight attendant and asked, "Why have we stopped?" Uhhh, ...?!
