After barring IndiGo from using such A320 Neo planes which are fitted with PW engines already used for over 3,000 hours last month, the DGCA has now asked the carrier to ground one old A320neo plane with unmodified PW engine for every new A320neo aircraft added to the existing fleet.
A DGCA official had previously said there are 16 aircraft in IndiGo’s fleet in which both the Pratt and Whitney (PW) engines have been used for more than 2,900 hours. All such 16 aircraft have to be fitted with at least one modified LPT engine within next 15 days, said the official.
