India’s largest airline IndiGo expects aircraft groundings in the “mid-thirties” in the January-March quarter (Q4 FY24) due to engine inspections in view of the powder metal issue with Pratt & Whitney (P&W) engines. The groundings due to this issue will be in addition to the 40-odd IndiGo planes that are grounded due to earlier issues with P&W engines.
IndiGo, however, reiterated that despite the additional groundings, it is confident of meeting its capacity growth guidance of “north of mid-teens” for 2023-24 (FY24) due to the mitigation measures it is implementing. The airline is also confident of meeting its long-term capacity guidance of doubling its fleet by 2030.
