The low cost carrier has placed an order worth $20 billion for CFM\u2019s LEAP-1A engines for 280 A320 and A321 Neo planes, making it the largest ever single engine order ever. The contract includes spare engines, and an overhaul support agreement through a long-term service agreement.<br \/>\nThe PW engines of A320\/21 Neos have been fang snags for years, due to which some of these planes were even grounded in India last year. At present, the Indian aviation regulator does not allow Indian carriers to fly PW-powered A320\/21 Neos to Port Blair. In India, GoAir and Indigo use PW-powered A320\/21 Neos.<br \/>\nIndiGo, a CFM customer since 2016, currently operates 17 A320ceo aircraft powered by CFM56-5B engines as part of a total fleet of 215 A320\/A321 family aircraft.
