IndiGo plane safely rejects take off at Kolkata after engine failure

An IndiGo Airbus A320ceo experienced an engine failure during takeoff in Kolkata, prompting a safe rejected takeoff. The DGCA is investigating the incident involving the 11-year-old aircraft. Due to global supply chain issues, IndiGo is retaining older planes longer than initially planned, impacting fleet renewal efforts with newer, more fuel-efficient A320neo aircraft.
