Aviation regulator DGCA on Thursday said material anomalies detected in certain Pratt & Whitney engines will have a “minimal” impact on IndiGo fleet as only two operational engines of the airline will be required to be removed for inspection. While a total of 15 engines powering IndiGo planes will be impacted, 13 of them are currently non-operational, according to a senior official at the Directorate General of of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
IndiGo is the largest customer of the A320 planes and the aircraft are powered by P&W engines. Grounded carrier Go First’s A320 neo fleet are also having P&W engines.
