Court upholds regulator order for the billionaire to take down posts containing footage of the April 15 stabbing of the Assyrian bishop
IndiGo, GoAir, aircraft manufacturer Airbus and engine maker Pratt & Whitney met Indian civil aviation ministry officials on Tuesday to discuss the engine issues.
IndiGo declined to comment when asked about the meeting. GoAir did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
IndiGo, owned by InterGlobe Aviation, is Airbus' biggest customer for the A320neo, all of which are fitted with Pratt & Whitney engines. IndiGo and GoAir together have more than 500 such planes on order.
IndiGo said last month it would retrofit its A320neo fleet with a new software upgrade from Pratt & Whitney after one of its planes was forced to make an emergency landing due to smoke in the cabin.
Pratt & Whitney made a presentation at Tuesday's meeting related to its engines, two sources aware of the meeting said.
Choubey said the ministry and DGCA had identified five main issues with the engines and Pratt & Whitney had taken corrective action on four of them and was working on the last one.
In February, the US aviation regulator said the Pratt & Whitney engines posed a shutdown risk, following similar action by European regulators that month.
Airbus said in July that Pratt & Whitney was catching up on delays that had caused a backlog of A320neos sitting on the ground outside factories without engines and there would be an improvement especially in the second half of 2018.
