MUMBAI: A Pune-Nagpur flight of IndiGo–an Airbus A320 Neo was grounded soon after takeoff Tuesday due to “excessive engine vibrations”–sixth such incident in the past two weeks alone, an airline industry source said.
The plane is powered by the already troubled Pratt & Whitney engine.
This is the sixth incident of midair glitches in the P&W engine-powered planes of IndiGo in the past two weeks alone, as the carrier continues to grapple with P& W engine issues even after three years of A320 Neo induction when the problem was first reported which led to grounding of several planes at frequent intervals.
