Jan-March to see IndiGo planes in 'mid 30s' to join 50 grounded due Pratt issues

Engine-maker Pratt & Whitney (PW) has informed IndiGo the latest powder metal contamination issue could see "aircraft on ground (AoG) in the range of mid-thirties in the fourth quarter (Jan-Mar 2024) due to accelerated engine removals." ββAlready almost 50 IndiGo Airbus A320neo (new engine option) have been grounded for several months awaiting replacement GTF engines from PW, which means over 80 IndiGo planes could be grounded early next year. Any more engines going bust, a common thing with PW GTF engines that power the A320 neos, will add to this number.
