The engine troubles hit budget carrier IndiGo again with the airline forced to ground two of its Airbus A320 Neo planes due to technical glitches, according to a source. The two Pratt & Whitney engine-powered A320 Neo planes were taken out of operations on Friday, the source said. IndiGo, which had to ground 11 A320 Neos between February and March this year due to safety concerns, confirmed that it had pulled out two of its planes from the service. The airline further said that the two planes are back into operations now. Significantly, the airline had earlier this month said all its aircraft, which had been taken out of service following directives of the European aviation safety regulator Easa and India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), were back into flying after the change of engines by the US engine supplier Pratt & Whitney.

Hundreds of passengers were stranded across the country today as dozens of flights were cancelled by IndiGo and GoAir after the regulator DGCA grounded 11 A320 Neo planes powered by Pratt & Whitney engines following a mid-air engine failure of an IndiGo plane earlier in the day in Ahmedabad.

IndiGo flight grounded before departure at Pune airport due to engine snag

Another IndiGo Airbus A320 Neo aircraft with Pratt& Whitney engine was grounded today at the Pune airport prior to its departure for New Delhi due to the oil chip detection in one of its engines, a source said. IndiGo, later, operated the flight with another aircraft but in the process it was delayed by more than four hours, according to the source. When contacted, IndiGo refused to comment on the incident, which came close on the heels of another incident involving its aircraft last week, in which passengers had a close shave after one of the engines of a A320 Neo plane failed midair. After the airline operated its Nagpur-Pune flight, IndiGo was forced to ground the A320 Neo plane due to the oil chip detection in engine-2 of the plane, the source said. The glitch-hit IndiGo plane was scheduled to fly to Delhi from Pune. As the aircraft was not airworthy due to the engine failure, the airline arranged another plane later, an A320, to fly the passengers to their ...
