Airbus: 200 PW engines replaced, 100 more to go
NEW DELHI: India’s tough stand on replacing Pratt & Whitney’s (PW) unmodified — and snag-prone — engines with modified or upgraded ones for the Airbus A320 Neos is paying off.
IndiGo, the world’s largest A320 Neo customer, and GoAir, have 150 Neos with PW engines between them.
“Each (PW-powered Neo) in India now has at least one modified engine. PW has so far replaced 200 engines on Neos. Now, only 100 more unmodified PW engines for Neos — which also meet all standards and are perfectly safe — remain to be replaced,” Anand Stanley, president and MD of Airbus (India and South Asia), told TOI on Friday.
