NEW DELHI: IndiGo continues to look at “mitigating measures” as Pratt & Whitey (PW) engine troubles show no signs of ebbing with the latter recently warning 600-700 engines will need to be checked globally over the next three years.
While it is the world’s largest Airbus A320 family customer and could see a significant impact, the low cost carrier is still waiting to hear from PW on the number of engines that will need to be examined and simultaneously looking at alternate means to keep augmenting capacity and network — something it has been doing through the last year by wet leasing planes and extending lease of older planes.
