Airbus says will support customers amid latest probe in P&W engines

With Pratt & Whitney deciding to inspect around 1,200 engines for certain defects, the country's largest airline IndiGo on Wednesday said it is working closely with the engine maker to assess and minimise any impact on its fleet. IndiGo is the largest customer of the A320 planes and the aircraft are powered by P&W engines. Besides, grounded carrier Go First's A320 neo fleet are having P&W engines.

Against this backdrop, P&W has decided to carry out enhanced inspection of around 200 of its engines powering Airbus planes by September. "We are in receipt of the information from the OEM Pratt and Whitney (P&W) regarding the outcome of the latest inspection of their engine. We are working closely with P&W to assess and minimise any ...
