IndiGo drops Pratt for CFM’s jet engines in $20 billion order
NEW DELHI: IndiGoNSE 0.93 % announced an order worth $20 billion to source engines from CFM International to power the Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft set to join its fleet, changing its main engine supplier as problems with Pratt & Whitney’s geared turbofan engines continued to impact the airline’s Airbus 320neo (new engine option) planes.
The deal is for CFM’s LEAP-1A engines, and includes spare engines and an overhaul support agreement, Indi-Go said in a news release on Monday.
“To support its new LEAP-1A fleet, IndiGo also signed a long-term service agreement,” it added.
