New Update on Indigo: Due to Pratt & Whitney engine issues, the DGCA has requested that the business establish a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in India as soon as possible.

Indigo Update: This news is relevant to you if you have any plans to go anywhere in the nation or overseas on Indigo after December. Indeed, as of late, there is a chance that your journey may be canceled as well. Due to issues with its Pratt & Whitney engines, Indigo, the biggest airline in the nation, has chosen to ground a few more planes. For the current fiscal year's fourth quarter, the corporation has made this choice. Following this, IndiGo's fleet will operate 50 fewer aircraft in the fourth quarter.

DGCA was notified

Actually, Pratt & Whitney engines power Indigo aircraft. These engines have been having issues for a while now. The airline alerted the DGCA of this. The DGCA has requested the business to establish a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in India as soon as possible in response to the Pratt & Whitney engine issue. The DGCA said that if the aircraft's engines are not maintained in India, they would need to be grounded from the start of 2024.

In this context, a Pratt & Whitney team also met with DGCA representatives last week. The Airbus A320neo plane's next generation PW engine is also being used by IndiGo and GoAir. For the last six years, they have been plagued by several issues. Many hundreds of engines will suffer harm if Indigo's issue is not resolved quickly. It is necessary to replace the PW engines in around fifty of IndiGo's current aircraft. If not, there is a chance that many flights may be forced to land in the start of 2024.

The business had previously held PW personally responsible for the discontinuation of GoAir's aviation services. When questioned about offering MRO facilities locally, Ashmita Sethi, the head of Pratt & Whitney's India division, reportedly said that India is a key country for them.
