IndiGo has grounded an A320 neo aircraft at Lucknow due to problem in the Pratt & Whitney engine, according to a source.
The aircraft has been grounded for maintenance since January 31.
P&W engine-powered A320 neos have been grappling with problems and aviation regulator DGCA has issued various directives to address these issues.
