NEW DELHI: Aviation regulator DGCA has extended the deadline for modification of Pratt & Whitney enginesNSE -0.57 %, powering A320 neo planes of IndiGoNSE -3.38 % and GoAir.
In the wake of multiple incidents involving P&W engines in recent times, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had given certain deadlines to the two airlines for carrying out changes to their P&W engines.
“… as the task is onerous and availability of such engines is an issue, we have now asked them to complete the task in a slightly modified time line i.e. November 24, 2019,” the regulator said in a statement on Friday.
