Pratt & Whitney halts 320 neo shipments as new engine issues emerge

IndiGo said on Saturday that it had withdrawn three affected planes from service and canceled some flights after new issue on the troubled engine program emerged

Airbus SE has halted all deliveries of its Pratt & Whitney-powered A320neo after the latest disclosure in a series of flaws with the next-generation engine, according to the company’s biggest customer for the aircraft.
 
IndiGo, India’s biggest carrier, said on Saturday that it had withdrawn three affected planes from service and canceled some flights after the European Aviation Safety Agency warned of a new issue on the troubled engine program that may be connected to several in-flight shut downs. The investigation to determine the root cause continues, the agency said.
