Engine maker Pratt & Whitney, which has come into focus after Go First filed for voluntary insolvency, has opposed the carrier’s attempt to enforce an arbitration ruling even as it has argued in a Delaware court that the airline’s bankruptcy filing has increased the ‘risks’ for it.
On Wednesday the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had admitted the low-cost airline’s plea for voluntary insolvency and imposed a moratorium which effectively bars the lessors from taking possession of its aircraft.
Go First has also maintained that it has been facing financial distress due to inherently defective engines supplied by Pratt & Whitney.
