This move follows a series of safety directives and inspections aimed at addressing potential risks associated with these engines.

IndiGo and other airlines will be closely monitoring and replacing engines as required to maintain the highest safety standards. This development highlights the commitment of aviation authorities to passenger safety and the ongoing efforts to ensure the reliability of aircraft engines.
