IndiGo, GoAir ground 9 A320 neos on engine woes; Prabhu seeks report

IndiGo and GoAir have grounded nine A320 neo planes due to Pratt & Whitney engine problems, prompting Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu to seek a detailed report on the issue from regulator DGCA. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) today also said the engines are being continuously monitored and safety issues are addressed adequately. "At present, there are 60 A320 neos with P&W engines (41 with IndiGo and 19 with GoAir). As on date, 7 with IndiGo and 2 with GoAir are on ground," the regulator said in a statement. These groundings are due to combustor distress found during routine scheduled boroscopic inspection. These are all Block B combustors, it added.
