Another IndiGo A320 Neo plane suffers mid-air P&W engine shutdown

IndiGo has grounded an A320 neo aircraft after mid-air shut down of a Pratt & Whitney engine, a source said Thursday. The plane, which was flying from Port Blair to Kolkata, returned to Port Blair and made an emergency landing. The incident happened December 23, the source added. The airline has been grappling with P&W engine problems for quite some time. According to the source, the pilot of the aircraft reported failure of one of the engines and sought a turn back. This was the fourth incident of an IndiGo plane facing technical glitch mid-air since Dec 10. An IndiGo spokesperson said the aircraft returned to Port Blair after the pilot observed low oil pressure in one of the engines. The aircraft is withdrawn from service for further checks at Port Blair, she added. <br/>
