IndiGo receives first Airbus A320neo
Airbus has delivered its second A320neo to IndiGo, 2 months after the updated model first went into service with Lufthansa. Deliveries of the re-engined jet have been delayed as engine maker Pratt & Whitney addresses technical problems with its Geared Turbofan engines. IndiGo has ordered a total of 430 A320neo aircraft, making it one of Airbus's largest customers. The delivery is 3 months later than originally planned. Pratt & Whitney has encountered problems with slow engine start-up times and erroneous engine software messages in the new engine, but says the problems will be fixed by June. Lufthansa and IndiGo stepped up as the first operators for the upgraded jet after launch customer Qatar Airways rejected delivery in December due to engine teething problems. <br/>
