New Delhi : Global supply chain challenges continue to impact the operation of aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney (P&W) engines. Over 50 planes of the Indian carriers-IndiGo and Go First-were grounded. The issue reportedly affects around 25 aircraft of each airline.
IndiGo has 300 aircraft in service. Its A320neo airplanes use IAE V2500 engines assembled by a consortium that includes P&W. Only A320neo family aircraft are currently grounded, according to reports.
Go First also operates a fleet of Airbus A320 family aircraft, out of which 54 A320neos and five A320-200s. Both aircraft types are powered by P&W engines.
If the number of affected aircraft is confirmed, it would mean that half of the Go First fleet is currently grounded due to engine issues.
