New Delhi: GoAir faced a mid-flight shutdown of one of its Pratt & Whitney (P&W) engines in September, forcing pilots to land the Airbus A320neo on a single engine, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The incident revives safety concerns over the engines that have been plagued by technical problems since 2016.
The incident occurred on flight G8-710 of the no-frills carrier from Hyderabad to Ahmedabad on 19 September.
“GoAir’s Airbus A320 Neo aircraft (registration VT-WGK) reported commanded inflight shutdown of one of its engines while operating between Hyderabad and Ahmedabad on the night of 19 September,” said one of the people, requesting anonymity.
