GoAir sticks to Pratt & Whitney engines in 70 Airbus A320neo it has ordered
GoAir has chosen Pratt & Whitney (P&W) engines to power the second set of 72 Airbus A320neo aircraft it ordered in 2016.
The selection gives a boost to the US engine firm, which lost out to rival manufacturer CFM International for IndiGo’s 280 aircraft engine order in June.
GoAir has 144 Airbus A320neo planes on order. It selected P&W engines for the first 72 planes, which it ordered in 2011 and has already taken deliveries of 38 planes. GoAir has now opted for P&W engines a second time, as the company offered better commercial terms than CFM International, it is learnt.
Deliveries of GoAir’s second set of 72 planes are supposed to start by mid-2021.
