Pratt says engine malfunction not a safety issue; sees no drop in demand

Firm denies reports of fire in planes using its engines, is working on other problems

Engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney claimed that that the repeated mishaps with the 1100G engines used in A320 neo aircraft do not pose any safety issues. The manufacturer also said that they have not found any incidents of fire in the engines.
 
“There was no fire. We have done external and internal (investigation) and have found no evidence of fire. I am categorically saying that there is no safety issue," Pratt and Whitney India head Palash Roy Choudhury said in an interview.
 
Two incidents of fire were reported in aircraft using the engine -- one with a GoAir Delhi-Bengaluru
