Pratt & Whitney to oppose Go First’s push to enforce arbitration

Pratt & Whitney (PW) plans to oppose Go Airlines (India) Ltd’s push to enforce an arbitration ruling against the US company for the supply of spare engines.

“Go First’s allegations that Pratt & Whitney is responsible for its financial condition are without merit. Pratt & Whitney will vigorously defend itself against Go’s claims, and is pursuing its own legal recourse,” a company spokesperson told DH.

The cash-strapped carrier which filed for insolvency before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on May 2, has earlier moved a plea before a court in Delaware, United States, seeking enforcement of an arbitration award issued by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) against Pratt & Whitney (P&W) Pratt & Whitney.
