DGCA to ask engine maker to probe IndiGo A320ceo aircraft

New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) plans to ask the manufacturers of CFM engines to carry out a precautionary check on IndiGo’s CFM-powered A320ceo aircraft that faced engine snags last week. Subsequently, all other airlines will be ‘sounded out’ and precautionary checks could be carried out on some of these aircraft, a DGCA said, requesting anonymity.

This comes just a few days after an IndiGo A320ceo aircraft powered by a CFM engine developed a glitch mid-air between Goa and New Delhi.

“This glitch with a CFM engine is a rare event, unheard in the Indian context,” said the DGCA official.
