New Delhi: Engine trouble on the Airbus A-320 new engine option (Neo) shows no signs of abating.
On Saturday, an IndiGo A-320 Neo developed a snag in one of the engines, manufactured by aircraft engine makers Pratt and Whitney. "The aircraft (VT-ITC) got a 'oil chip detected' warning for one engine at Vadodara. It had to be flown back as a ferry (without passengers) to Delhi on Sunday for engine change," said a source.
IndiGo did not comment on this latest trouble with this engine. Till the time of filing this story, it could not be ascertained at what stage of flight the latest engine trouble with A-320 Neo happened.
Saturday's trouble is the fourth in less than a month with both IndiGo and GoAir - that use A-320 Neos with P&W engines - reporting two engine issues each. IndiGo A-320 neo on Saturday reportedly got an "oil chip" warning similar to the one that was witnessed by a GoAir A-320 Neo which had taken off from Delhi for Bangalore on February 8 and had to return to Delhi after a fire scare on an engine.
