The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday asked GoAir to replace 13 A320Neo aircraft’s PW engines, which have been used for over 3,000 hours, within the next 15 days or face grounding of the airplanes, an official said.
The DGCA has given GoAir two weeks’ time to replace at least one of two low-pressure turbine (LPT) engines of the airline’s A320neos fitted with Pratt & Whitney parts.
Failing to comply with the directive will result in the grounding of the aircraft, DGCA said. Shares of InterGlobe Aviation fell 5.20 per cent intra-day following reports of the DGCA directive and closed 2.51 per cent down at Rs 1,417.80 on Tuesday.
