All aeroplanes can stall

Of course an Airbus can stall.
It does require nature to provide energy loss in the form of wind shear or down draught alternatively a yawing gust while banked and near the stall will do the business. As the chap on star trek once said " ye canna suspend the laws of physics". If you are near the stall and nature takes some of your energy away it will happen.
Under normal circumstances it will not stall but in a dynamic situation like strong convection or turbulence it can stall. I don't think it has ever happened this way and doubt it ever will, but theoretically it could.
If one were to stall in this way the flight control laws will leave you in alternate law and normal law will not be available for the rest of the flight.
