20 Sep 2023 CW Team

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has made a significant move by removing five Pratt & Whitney (PW) engines from the IndiGo fleet. This action comes in response to concerns over the safety and reliability of these engines. IndiGo, one of India's leading airlines, operates a substantial number of aircraft equipped with PW engines.

The decision to remove these engines was prompted by a series of incidents and technical issues reported with PW engines. The DGCA has taken proactive steps to ensure the safety of passengers and the integrity of operations within the Indian aviation sector. This move follows a series of safety directives and inspections aimed at addressing potential risks associated with these engines.

The removal of five PW engines underscores the importance of rigorous safety measures in the aviation industry. 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.
