IndiGo planes grounded, non-availability of spares blamed
A couple of planes had, however, resumed operations after undergoing engine replacement on August 22 and 23, the sources said.? On August 10, IndiGo had to ground a brand new A320 Neo plane which had flown less than 50 hours and was inducted into the airline's fleet a couple of weeks ago.
Budget carrier IndiGo, which has been grappling with Pratt and Whitney engine issue, today said some of its Airbus A320 Neo aircraft have been grounded "proactively" due to "non-availability" of spare engines from the manufacturer. Image source: Reuters
